http://www.basenav.com/ allows you to scan your own maps, but haven't found a use for it yet.

MG Maps 

http://www.mgmaps.com/index.php supports offline maps, works very well.

Go to the MapCacher site and choose which area you want to download by dropping pins on the map. Choose which zoom levels you want to cache. Then hit the Generate! button to download a .map file to the local system.

Execute ./MapTileFE.pl from Terminal, passing it the .map file BUT WITHOUT THE .map EXTENSION. It will call MapTileCacher.perl for each level of zoom you specify, creating a MGMapsCache folder which can be sent to the phone by Bluetooth.

Setup

I had to to rename the .perl.pl file to .perl, so other script can find it.

Use chmod u+x to allow execution, then just run ./MapTileFE.pl.
