In terms of keeping track of which areas you have done and which you haven’t I think SimpleTaskManager is really good for single person projects. Divide and Map Now looks like it should be good for more collaborative stuff but I haven’t tried it in a while.

I think the quickest way is with JOSM + the Building Tools plugin. If the buildings are all rectangles or “L” shaped then the Mapathoner plugin is really quick too.
Building tools is quick enough that if I’m fixing an area that’s been mapped wonky it’s often a lot quicker to re-trace the skewed buildings in a fresh layer and use the Conflate plugin to merge them back into the main layer than it is to fix the geometry directly (and that include individual checks).

IIRC At one point Google Maps would let you download a map for browsing, but you couldn’t do offline navigation. Don’t know if that’s still the case.
Organic Maps does the routing on the device.
