We tested Galileo with an iPhone and a 50km by 50km section of NZTopo in the Southland Area with great success, the stored tiles used 126mb of space, and we didn't get lost! The image to the left is a screenshot from an iPhone in flight mode using the Galileo app.
Note: MOBAC is designed for downloading sections of maps from online sources. It's very unlikely you will be able to download NZTopo tiles for the whole country as the complete dataset is larger than the capacity of most devices.
