I need an app that would totally work offline, with the option for downloading maps and the option for getting live GPS tracking and turn-by-turn instructions offline.
Preferably free..
I use Here Drive/Maps, and the live GPS tracking and turn-by-turn instructions work just fine with the data (internet) turned off. I'm not sure what your issue is exactly with it, or what phone you are using that makes it require internet for those functions.
Traffic updates do not work in Here Drive without Internet, but that is the only functionality that is missing for me without internet. I generally don't care about the traffic anyway.
I know this is the case, because we had a spare Lumia 520 where we downloaded the maps. A SIM was never activated for this phone, and it never had cellular data service. We used Wi-Fi to get the maps, then turned Wi-Fi off. My wife uses it as her GPS for turn-by-turn and as an MP3 player. For the $20 we paid for it, it serves that purpose quite well.
Perhaps there is some function of live GPS tracking or turn-by-turn instructions that you are talking about and I just don't understand fully what you are asking for?
