Not really germane to the discussion but I have a Garmin GPS that I use instead of Apple or Google Maps. It¡¯s never let me down but it does help to know where you¡¯re trying to go. :-)
I can download the latest map info for free to keep it current

It looks like there must¡¯ve been a problem will cell reception at that time where you were.
Before the map apps existed I had a Garmin GPS mapping device.
One of my first App purchases was the TomTom mapping app. Apps like this contain GIGABYTES of mapping data and are (almost) entirely independent of Wifi or Cellular connectivity.
They CAN utilize connectivity for add-on functionality like traffic or speed traps, and of course they require GPS reception, but they can get you from Point A to Point B with NO connection to the internet.
