Have you given Gaia GPS a try? I think we satisfy most of your requirements. We provide Mapbox satellite imagery, which isn't the same as Google's, but it's pretty good. I work on the maps on that app, so of course you ought to try it for yourself rather than believing me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trailbehind.android.gaiagps.pro.

GPS Visualizer

GPS Visualizer is an online DIY Mapping facility that allows you to create profiles and maps seamlessly by using geographic data.

I haven't tried MapLibre. I'm learning that there are lots of alternatives to Google Maps and Mapbox which I love to see. I learned of Leaflet through GPS Visualizer[1]. It's an excellent resource. They also have a tool that will augment your GPX file with elevation data[2], though I'm not sure what source they use. According to their site: > Complete copies of the SRTM3 and USGS NED databases, as well as a large number of SRTM1 and ASTER tiles, are stored on GPS Visualizer's server` One thing I learned through this project is that elevation and distance data are all over the place depending on what source you're pulling from.

FarOut

The number #1 app for long distance hiking, biking, and paddling.

Looks very nice! Do you know https://faroutguides.com/ (formerly GutHook)? They have offline-friendly paid maps of a lot of the largest scenic trails in America. I hiked the Appalachian Trail last year and FarOut was standard kit.

Natural Atlas

An evolving, nationwide map of the outdoors

I highly suggest checking out Natural Atlas (https://naturalatlas.com/) by the same small team who made the CoTrex app (https://trails.colorado.gov/) for Colorado Parks and Wildflife. A really fantastic team building some absolutely gorgeous topographic basemaps from publicly available data. Hopefully they'll find time to add a slope angle overlay at some point.
