The Spanish government app "Mapas de España" gives very high quality topographic maps. Camino routes are marked on the maps and gps route files can be used as an overlay.
OsmAnd is free general-purpose map and navigating app that uses also-free downloadable maps. It is feature-rich. The free version permits downloading up to, I think, three maps. One can make it show all sorts of user-selectable points of interest. One can optionally also use it to record your tracks.
One can purchase a $ version called OsmAnd+ (it's not costly) that permits downloading as many free maps as will fit on your device.
I love it and use it constantly, not just on Camino.
I use a map app (OSMand) with the route marked on my phone. Once you have downloaded the map of the area you're in, you don't need to be connected to wifi or data to use the map!
My choice is organic maps (free, no advertisements, offline) together with the kml downloads from the Dutch confraternity of Saint James.
Like @mochilaverde wrote, you can download them from that download page. You can also see what you can download at the interactive.map at the bottom of this page, on top you find a translate button:
