For offline maps I use Maps.Me:

   http://maps.me/en/home

and I put the maps on an external SD card.  Still works with the latest 
Android.

I note that this would not be possible with the iPhone.  A 32 or 64 GB 
SD card costs a lot less (GBP 14) than the incremental cost of buying 
iPhone capacity (GBP 80).
