You can download maps by country/region and the relief of the area. When calculating routes you can have it display the height profile of the Route. It does not know if an "orange" road is perfect tarmac or loose gravel, though.
Otherwise I use maps.me (free for Android). It has better data on Hotels/hostels.
Also iOverlander helps with finding things (hostels, repair shops, banks, etc...)
If I'm unsure about which road to take I usually compare osmand+ and maps.me and ask the locals.

I have also used OsmAnd+ in Central Asia and the maps were pretty accurate. I'm not fond of their interface it looked cumbersome after TomTom GO colors and lack of 3D which is useful on curvy mountain roads. The other painful part that if you lay out long route it takes forever to calculate it. On positive side you can block road you don't want to take instead of plotting intermediate points.
Maps.me seems to be very popular with locals and if you have phone service Google Maps is good for finding businesses.. YMMV.
@OP there's really no reason to carry something like Zumo; cheap rugged waterproof Android phone like Kyocera would do everything you need and for $60 you can afford to carry a spare just in case.
