Often when I need to go for a drive I map out a path with google maps that includes detours to things I might find interesting - lookouts, a dirt road rather than the default highway, etc. While driving google loves to update with the "best" path available but I'm not interested in that, I want to get there in my own time and use the path I set. To get around this I can set various stops in the middle of a "non-optimised" section but this doesn't always work (need too many stops, might make a little detour and it adjusts, etc.). Google maps allows 10 stops which is often fine, and I can break the trip into smaller sections to suit, but if I'm in the sticks without coverage I can't load the next section.
Can you suggest some android mapping app that will obey a fixed path? (Or is this already available in google maps?) Free preferred but will pay for a good alternative.
Bonus points: the maps traces the actual path traveled and superimposes it on the map. Sometimes I might run into an obstacle (gate on a fire trail, big patch of mud I'm not ready for, etc.) and it would be handy to have a record of where I've already been when making decisions on how to get around it.
maybe this?

definitely lets you record and show tracks
