Maps and Android GPS

Question

satellite navigation

I have an HTC Wildfire phone.
In a couple of days we will be driving around Russia in places where there is no connection.
As far as I understand, the GPS on the phone does not require a connection to the operator.
Tell me two things:
1. How to get information about GPS coordinates without the Internet on HTC Wildfire?
2. What is the best offline GPS program to use as a map when moving around Russia?

The plan is this - if we are not where we are - turn on the GPS, look at the coordinates on the phone, turn on the map on the laptop - enter the coordinates, look where there is.

What do you advise?

Answer 1

Navitel

Answer 2

You can take Yandex.Maps and just download the cache. You can take Progorod (a month is free, then you have to pay 900 rubles) - they have offline maps, you can select the area you want to download, they are based on OpenStreetMap. True, neither one nor the other does not lay routes offline.

Answer 3

We drove 6500 km on Shturmann - 15 days for free. Internet is needed only for traffic jams (as far as I remember, although traffic jams could be shown by other programs - we also used Yandex.Maps and Navitel)

Answer 4

Because the question is relevant and can still help someone, then I will add a link to OsmAnd here . In the current version, it is already quite possible to recommend for use around the world.
