Shameless plug: start with https://comaps.app/ . Recently I helped a woman find an address because she told me there's some problem with her internet connection.

I think having an offline map of at least the region you live in can come in handy. In fact, I carry an old phone with impressive battery life (Samsung Galaxy A10) and offline maps installed on it so I don't get lost.

There are lots of offline map apps. OSMAnd, for one.

Very useful in some areas. Not even that out of the way - I have needed offline maps in Cumbria, which is just rural and hilly.

Paper maps (or printed) is mandatory when you are on track in mountains. Offline digital maps are useless in -30 when phone battery and powerbank are dead.

Great to see more offline map projects. Is this any different than Organic Maps currently? The about page indicated this project is a continuation of Organic Maps due to issues with that project, not sure if there are new features or if it will be the main project going forward.

Organic Maps has more features, and will have even more features.
