Another one using Open Street Maps is Navigator from Map Factor . . .http://navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/en/ . . . which is free and works like a GPS - anywhere in the world. I downloaded all of North America to my Android into my microSD so not on the device memory. Problem is using it can use a lot of battery and it actually heats up after awhile when used as a GPS - but good for figuring out where you are when walking around town or whatever. It even has hiking trails and we have used it for fun in National Parks.
I think there may be other map downloads using Open Street Maps OFFLINE but I am not sure.
I just looked for the HERE maps online and it is now WE GO HERE or wego.here.com and they do show the new road - probably from Open Street Maps too - but I am not sure if you can use the app from this website to get the OFFLINE maps I got from Microsoft. With the MS Windows app you can download the app to your laptop or whatever and then download other specific maps to your hard drive to use OFFLINE

Maybe I just need to see if there are updates with the new roads in Mexico on them?
Here is the web address for the HERE website where you can see the new Patzcuaro road on their map - but different from the Open Street Maps version they do not show the number assigned to the road.
