Note: If you don’t want to deal with stuff like this, I recommend you download and use it from F-Droid client or Accrescent AppStore.
Update: The app returned to the App Store.
It sounds neat. Offline maps. If Google hadn’t banned it I would have never heard of it. It’s on F-droid too for those who don’t want to download and install an apk.
Get StreetComplete while you’re at it and help improve the maps in a Pokemon-Go style mobile game.

Offline maps are the way to go. I made a habit of having all of the US always stored in my phone just in case something bad happened. Only takes 12GB or so. Cell service can be spotty in large parts of the country so you can’t depend on Internet maps.
Then it paid off. Plane lost an engine mid-flight, had to emergency land 850 miles from where I needed to be, and off I went by rental car with map in hand…er…cupholder.
Yeah I was about to suggest F-Droid as a FOSS alternative to Google Play.
Just looked it up though and Organic Maps is not coming upEdit: Just kidding, guess it’s coming up now. Make sure to select the right anti-feature settings!
