You can get downloadable maps (when you _are_ in range of a wifi etc.); 
even where there's no mobile coverage, there's usually GPS, unless 
you're underground! And some of the more normal GPS app.s do have the 
facility to download part of your route if you pre-plan one, so it works 
as long as you don't deviate too much from the route.
