Mobile OSM is a bit like that when it hasn't downloaded the tiles for the regions you don't usually go to.

Imagine not downloading the entire world (in case one takes a wrong turn somewhere and end up on the other side of the world) to a dedicated map app.

What do you do if you end up on the other side of the world by accident and there's no internet available?

This is why I've also downloaded nautical maps with depth indicators for the seven seas and then some. You know, just in case I go down. No internet under water.
