For greenlaning (which for what it's worth isn't off-roading, they're still roads) I use an app called Backcountry Navigator on my phone.
It's £10 and gives access you OS maps of the whole country and maps of abroad too. On road I use an app too, Here maps. It's free, off-line mapping for the whole world. |

I can't find that specific App on my phone Cupboard - do you have any more details? Sounds good 
It could be user error when searching  |

Have a look at the garmin dezl770 .. Won't do off road, but will do everything else including trucks, bus, obd reader, real time gauges etc

Satnavs are no good for green-laning. I use the Memory Map app and then load in Ordnance Survey maps. The Memory-Map App turns your iPhone, iPad or favourite Android device into an outdoor GPS. Take your existing maps with you or download from Digital Map Shop.

BackCountry Navigator is £10 and gets the whole county's worth of maps for free.
Memory Map for the whole of GB in both scales is £170. MM's maps are a little more up to date (they're 2016 instead of 2012) but for most purposes I doubt that makes a huge amount of difference. |
