Maps.me is the best one I've used.
Maps.me what I relied on for my six months backpacking trip across Europe last year. It has downloadable OFFLINE maps, distance calculator, location icons (bus stops, train stations, prominent buildings, parks, lakes, etc), walking/cycling,driving route plotter, directional compass, personal bookmark'able locations, etc. All you need is your phone's inbuilt GPS which does not require a data downlink for it to work. Just download your maps while you have a data connection before you go exploring.

And it's Free. I highly recommend you try it.

+1 for maps.me. Used it for travelling in Europe and SEA. Pretty accurate for general roads/shops. Some of the lesser known shop/venue are not in it though.

I have 3 maps apps with me whenever I travel.

1. Locus Pro. This is the Rolls Royce of map apps. So many functions(points, track recordings, overlays, navigation, weather integration, etc), and can also display online Google and other maps. Supports downloadable raster maps, and offline vector maps. Also saves and organizes points of interests and tracks. I use this most extensively when walking around on foot. Free version also available.

2. Google Maps. For vehicle navigation and searches. Offline maps available but not for some countries.

3. Maps.Me. Very nice detailed maps mostly from OpenStreetMaps. Also has navigation if you wanna ride or drive.
