I think the actual GPS works but you need internet for the maps. Map data is too large to store many miles of it on a device. I think you can do maps in your area and it will still work for that limited area without internet but I haven't tried it.
Get the app maps.me
I have entire US and Canada on my iPhone 6s Plus 128GB.
Doesn't take that much room, 7.6GB, and I have GPS with maps my location and routing all without Internet.
Because the maps are right in the phone it is super fast. I use it even when I have Internet access. Cuts down on data usage. I downloaded all the maps using wifi. They do multiple updates each year so up to date as any other maps.

Just have a phone with capacity. Something other than 16GB. That's it. No catch, be a fool not to have it.Free? So what is the catch? For what does one have to pay?
I was wondering how its compare to HERE app as well, so far its my goto offline maps.
Last time i downloaded GoogleMaps theyy only worked for a few days, cause afterwards they needed to be redownloaded.
Why don't you download one of the apps. You have been provided several choices. Download one map and experiment with all the various questions you seem to have. Quite frankly instead of continuing to press us for more details each time we provide solutions. Just try it , either you will like it and be satisfied or you won't. We are not here as your testers and to continue to pursuade you one way or the other. We are not selling anything and beyond offering solutions to your original question, raising one objection after another, at least to me, raises doubts as to your motivations.
It's time you stepped up and did some trials and tests of your own.

It was not clear if you required maps or not, but our application LogGPS works completely off line to record positions. It does have the capability to view any given location using Apple or Google maps. It does cost, but we occasionally put it on sale.

My younger son uses HERE with off-line maps (no Internet connection needed). The application is free.
I use also an off-line app (Sygic Europe - $19.99) with maps downloaded to my iPhone.

Then buy an app that doesn't delete them.
Or use google maps for FREE and download them again after 29 days.
