Tools for downloading offline route maps

The problem, in plain words: “I want an app that lets me download my full point-to-point route for offline use, including turn-by-turn navigation, instead of only downloading maps by city or region.”

OSMAnd fits best, with 5 more that fit too.

You want an app that can take your exact start-to-destination trip and provide turn-by-turn navigation offline, not just offline map tiles by city or region.
