For offline maps, I switched to CoMaps when they forked Organic Maps. Development seemed to be moving faster there. I still have Google Maps and Here Maps installed, both with offline maps of the areas I'm usually at or to where I'm travelling. Too much redundancy perhaps, but no service/data source is good everywhere and I have a lot of free space on my phone, so it's not a problem for me.

For communications, I've been looking into Meshtastic and Meshcore. I have no need for them right now and they're not very reliable for messaging (especially Meshtastic, Meshcore works better here in London, but their coverage isn't great), but clients are fairly cheap and you can get a network going in case something happens.

Parts of Portugal were affected by bad weather recently, with some areas losing power and eventually mobile networks. On a Portuguese group for mesh stuff, some people reported being able to send some messages where phones were down, so it doesn't hurt to have a few clients just in case.
