OSMand? With offline maps. You can create waypoints.

Here is a comparison list of apps:

A great combination is to use Scenic in your iPhone and / or plan your trip in the PC using Furkot.

In Scenic you also can plan your trip with múltiple stops.

+1 for Maps.me, but with the disclaimer that the biggest problem I have with it is the poor time estimates between points. Even after countless updates and uses in Central America, Europe, and SE Asia, it is dreadful. What is of most help is the fact almost any road and trail is mapped on it. It is remarkable.

Lightbulb OSMAND+ and Ioverlander
I use OSMAND+ (but the "normal / free" version works the same, just is limited to 7 maps) and it works great.
Apart from that I also use I-overlander, which has lots of camping-spots etc from other overlanders.



I-overlander works also on I-phone, but the AND in OSMAND stands for Android, so not sure if its there for Iphone.


OSMAND uses the same maps as Maps.me (Openstreetmap) but has a better graphical representation. The "map style" I use almost looks like an old-fashioned paper road-map. Love it.

OSMAnd user.
I like how the view of the map can be changed to suit you- lost of different styles.
I like how I can quickly go for motor vehicle configuration (show a car symbol) to a pedestrian mode and each mode retains its configuration. The pedestrian mode I have configured to show public transport and walking routes.

There is an Iphone version .. not as good as the android version i believe.

Motion-X is an iPhone navigation app that accepts multiple waypoint routes.

I live in Japan and have tried a few apps but prefer using a Garmin.

For route planning/creation I find Ride with GPS to be very good. One of its advantages is being able to switch to Google Street View at any point of your route on the fly while planning. I find that essential in Japan.
