Would stuff that's locally hosted count? You can actually download the entirety of Wikipedia and fit it into 22GB, which is well within the capabilities of an common SD card.
Maps are a bigger thing. Google has apparently collected about 20PB (20 million gigabytes) of data for maps, though I'd imagine if you just need street/address/road data that might be a significantly smaller subset. Just the satellite imagery of Google Earth is about 196TB. Not sure what just the basics would take up
I'd count locally hosted stuff, yeah. I have a Jellyfin server in my local network that I use as a fallback for if internet goes down or a streaming service is having some issue. The latter is admittedly rare, but the former, unfortunately not so much.
Regarding maps, this is why I also mentioned print maps. It can get dense if you go hyper-detailed and digital, like you mention, but we've also had less detailed yet still pretty useful print atlases in the past...I just haven't taken the time to look up what some good ones might be to pick up, in case I ever just find myself in a weird situation without signal for mobile data or something. Or for some locales that they just couldn't get a Google car down or whatever.
Yeah paper maps work, I was just thinking of a way one can acquire updated maps on a regular basis without needing petabytes of storage :-)
