>> MotionX has found a middle ground. They provide no mapping detail built-in to the app, but they DO allow you to download and cache map data -- from a varity of sources, including topographic maps -- at home, over wifi, before leaving on a trip, by simulating the trip to determine the maps needed.

I own MotionX GPS, MotionX GPS Drive, MotionX GPS Drive HD, and MotionX GPS HD.
I got my iPad 1 three months after the iPad was released, and found one of these shortly after it came out, and kept getting the Newer! Better! version as they were released.
I have never bought voice for any. Even when voice directions are built-in, with Apple Maps, Google Maps, or the TomTom App -- or, for that matter, my earlier, free-standing Garmin machine, or the built-in maps of some vehicles -- I rarely use voice directions, but prefer visual guidance.
The non-Drive versions of MotionX products are also good for *other* things, like off-road, hiking, or investigating terrain.
Perhaps needless to say, I have been a "map nut" since grade school. When my parents were saving and storing every issue of National Geographic in the 1950's, *I* was saving the maps inserted in many issues, and STILL HAVE many of them.
When I discovered USGS Topographic maps in college, I bought all of Cape Cod at 2000 feet to the inch....
