"Navigation" it is... So Maps with Me won't do much for you.

According to this article, you should be offered an option to download older versions of an app, even if you bought it after the update:

This says to buy the app on a computer first and then download it directly on the old device:

https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/app-store-downloading-older-versions-of-apps-ios#1

You *should* be prompted to download the older version. If that's the case - I've been using Navigon (now part of Garmin) for many years (it's just OK and does have some issues). There are versions that supported the older iPad:

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/navigon-north-america/id321506742?mt=8

If you can't get it working - Apple will usually sort out a refund pretty easily. The apps also go on sale very often - usually in the 50% off range...
