OpenMobileMaps
OpenMobileMaps is a moving map application for WindowsMobile devices. If a data connection is available, it automatically downloads tiles and allows to search for places. In offline mode it shows cached map-tiles. If a GPS device is available, the current position can be shown on the map and the map automatically moved to follow your actual position.

Offline Functionality
If an internet connection is available, OpenMobileMaps automatically downloads necessary tiles. All tiles are permanently stored on the device and therefore don't need to be downloaded again, which saves bandwith. Additionally, the tiles can be used in offline mode if no internet connection is available. For devices without GSM internet connection, all necessary tiles may be downloaded using tile managers like JTileDownloader or OSMtiledownloader or by browsing the area of interest at home with e.g. WiFi connection available.
Due to the fact that search-functionality uses an online service for search requests, it is not available in offline mode.
