I live in the country where there is no “data service”, TV signal except in spanish so I do not need GPS. I sometimes use some old paper maps that most nowadays could not read. I do have slow DSL to amuse myself though.

On a long hike (Appalachian Trail) paper Topo Maps are great, but tend to add up weight wise and bulk wise.
Ability to download topo maps would be great.

All modern phones have GPS built in. You don’t need data service for the GPS to work. The apps track your path using GPS.
Paper maps continue to work fine and the batteries never die.
