Descriptions:

zMap provides online and offline map for navigation. There are multiple map sources (Google maps, OpenStreetMap and MapQuest) in online mode and always on cache. You can search for location and route in different transparent modes (driving, public transit, walking and bicycling) and store the result into bookmark then read at offline case.

In offline mode, it supports versatile map tiles formats (MBTiles, Galileo, xGPS, RMaps, Big Planet & Osmand) and import location and direction data by Keyhole Markup Language (KML) and GPS exchange format (GPX). Now you can use iPhone, iPod or iPad for the offline map navigation with GPS during travel or place without Internet coverage.
