The $9 app is Co-Pilot. (pick the USA version) It stores the maps on your device. You can get all of the USA and Canada stored on your SD card or internal memory and it will use less than 2.5Gigs, and has lots of POI's also.
It works almost as good as the dedicated GPS's out there.
I like Google maps but yes on some long stretches it blanks out, but the C0-Pilot app is great. Do a search on this forum and you will get lots of info on it too.
It also uses less battery than using Google as it doesn't need data, and I can use my data to stream music from Pandora or similar in the background while it's running.
You can also put in several preferences like avoiding highways, and it even has an RV setting that can help avoid low bridges.
It has a free trial before you have to pay.
There is also a newer more dedicated RV version (I don't have that one though) but it really only has some more customizable RV height and length inputs, but would be a good one also
