Better check your math on that one. If 100lbs is only about 2% of your tongue weight, your total tongue weight would be 5,000lbs. And that’s not likely…

Not so, you can download a region on Google Maps to your device (phone or tablet) for offline use. We do that regularly for travel in Europe when we do not have a data plan. Works anywhere, though.
