HERE Maps by Nokia had offline maps, including search & navigation, over a decade ago. At the time Google had only offline maps with tiles and some POIs, no navigation or similar things.
- perfectstorm 3y agoi loved the HERE Maps when i had a Windows Phone. we navigated two countries in Europe without ever needing to turn on data roaming. this was back in 2013 i think? it was mind-blowingly good to navigate from one end of the country to the other end using just offline maps.
- walterbell 3y agoHere Maps is still available on iOS and Android with offline maps. Owned by an EU auto consortium and well maintained.
- astrange 3y agoWell, not if you like your maps to have Japan in them, since it doesn't.

- astrange 3y agoThere might be such regulations, but they're much less strict than South Korea if so - I haven't heard about them. The great difficulty of keeping a map up to date from outside the country would be enough.
