IOS devices can also use Google Maps off line in the same manner. I have used it this way throughout the Continental US, in Baja, and recently on Cyprus.
But also must agree to not fully trust the “roads” in it. But it is way more accurate than Apple’s map program.

Locus is a very powerful example of this. It’s has a data base of downloadable maps like OSMAND and the rest but it also allows custom maps. Scan in you favorite paper map at the local copy shop. Georeference the jpg or tif and convert it to the file format the app allows. Locus can use sqelite file. This link provides software to georeference your map.

Do it once and it’s super easy after.
