I used MapFactor many times during trips.
You can either download free maps from OSM or paid maps from... I think it's TomTom? Or is it Garmin? I forget, I've never used them.
Anyway the interface ain't that friendly, but there's a LOT of points of interests, and there's live traffic if you have internet access. It has a few cool features too. It can be used via Android Auto and can even use your phone screen's reflection on your windshield as a HUD!
The only caveat is you have to download the maps and they can take a lot of storage space depending how large an area you need.
Edit : yeah it's TomTom
