Losing service is most likely a certainty when traveling. And since you are changing countries, it is most likely your current data plan won't sustain you. Thus, Google Maps is of dire importance.

Although you won't be able to ask for directions, you can still tour the city and find your way around with the information provided.
Pro-tip: Even in offline mode, by downloading the complete resources for the city that you're visiting, you can still enable voice navigation and even find complete information about the attractions, restaurants, and even shopping locations within the city.
