Right now, with a bunch or their shitty updates installed since, it does show the last map in a totally offline mode. But it still fails to determine my location unless I provide Internet (I miss my fucking GPS non-assisted!  ). It does allow to switch offline maps manually (via search) if I went abroad though.
Their compass tried to work once and disappeared. But I know them and have a standalone compass application that doesn't seem to fail. 
Don't bet your life on that shit unless you have a spare one.  |
Strange. Sometimes, it initially lags, but my iPhone doesn't have a problem determining where I am in airplane mode, but the wifi radio must be on too (doesn't need to be connected to any network, just on). I was just on a cruise in the middle of the Caribbean, and it generally was able to find where I was.
