I'm going to the island of Cyprus in June and will rent a car at Ercan airport which won't have GPS navigation (the chosen company is literally the only option for me for specific reasons).
While I'll be based in North Cyprus, I will also visit EU Cyprus.
I was told by the rental company I can download apps for GPS navigation - fortunately my mother, who has a tablet, is travelling with me.
Do you know any accurate offline app that works in both countries on the island?
I want it to show all routes that can be taken, whilst excluding those that can't, such as the small roads between the two north-south roads shown below.

There are basically two offline options these days - Google Maps and Openstreetmap based apps. Can you clarify what "accurate" means?

@JonathanReez Showing the roads that can be taken whilst not showing roads that can't (like Google Maps does, at least in regards to border crossings - the suggested route from Larnaca to Ercan airport cannot actually be taken by civilians)

So maybe add an example route that Google Maps displays incorrectly to your post?

@JonathanReez When I try google maps betweeen Larnaca and Ercan airport, it display a route that goes through Akincilar, there is not border crossing there. I think this is what Coke refers to.

>closed to civilians Do you mean military bases? AFAIK you can drive the roads inside military bases, but you shouldn't stop there or buy anything.

Went for Google Maps offline, although ended up rarely needing it (as I'm generally good at orientation)
