OsmAnd has a counterintuive UI, it have been the case that you didn't have the right map layers enabled.

OsmAnd is a marvel - I plan all my holiday needs with it: preloading points of interest and doing all the routing with it.

It packs this much functionality in one place, all available offline. Once you get past the counterintuitive UI, you start to like it.

It covers public transport, opening hours, all kinds of PoIs, distance measurement tools, hill shading, contour maps and customizable map views, being able to measure routes in advance (calculate route from any point x to y).

You also need to download the maps ahead of time.
AFAIK, Osmand~ supports live tiles too.
