Is it possible to develop an application for Android and iOS that uses offline maps with routes and use GPS to navigate on them? (On foot and vehicle)

I found another answers but the question that is still in my head is, is it possible to user Google Maps or Apple Maps for this?

I also tried to search for a good 3rd party service that gives me what i want, but still nothing.

Regards,
Elkas

You can't use Google Map for offline usage. It's against TOS (Terms Of Service) (any caching or downloading of google maps is against Google Map TOS) and is illegal.
