In addition to what I explained to Cyberax, if you want
routing there's:
https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice
gives you walking and driving directions and various other nice things. GIScience also has a number of other nice projects for things like geocoding and reverse geocoding.
Sadly I don't have enough space on my phone to have this in addition to the maps, but if you're carrying a laptop you'll be fine.

Don't the latest phones have far more "memory" available than your typical laptop?
I might be out of date, but the recent laptops I looked at, many were 32/32 (32GB ram, 32GB SSD). Okay they were chromebooks, but the real laptops weren't much better.
Whereas your typical phone had no trouble whatsoever adding a 512GB microSD card ...

Ouch!
Given I tend to buy high-end budget phones, I didn't realise that ... seems daft I can have more storage than you! Although I was aware high end phones tended to come with "unlimited cloud storage" ... what happens when you change phone?

And, of course, there's the thing where someone who's paid £150 for a phone is less likely to be willing to pay £50/month for unlimited data, whereas someone spending £1,000 on a phone might well pay for unlimited data, and thus be more willing to rely on cloud storage for bulk data like photos and videos.

I actually put such a card into my previous, cheaper phone, when I got it, several years ago. You'll see all sorts of weird errors then.

There's three reasons to not put an SD slot in a phone:
