Mapy.com, previously Mapy.cz (mapy.com) is a website renderer of OSM maps. There is also an app for Android and iOS which has offline maps.

Android app features

  • Complete offline capabilities including routing
    • Download of more than one country at a time is a Premium feature; paying can currently be avoided on Android by using versions 9.55.2 (9550200) and below)
  • Map features are vectorized (meaning they don't change resolution on different zoom levels)
  • Fast map renderer (unlike most OSM renderers, which take a fair amount of time to re-render different views or zoom levels)
  • Very simple and user friendly interface
  • Three different map layers: Tourist (a.k.a. Outdoor), Aerial (based on NASA Earth Observatory, Basemap.at, Eox.at and Microsoft Bing Maps) and Winter (which renders skiing-relevant OSM features)
  • Each map layer can also overlay a slope incline color map and hillshades (online only)
  • In navigation, Day and Night modes are available (that render the features differently to adjust for ambient light)
  • Very comprehensive Panorama (alternative to Google Street View) in Czechia
  • Proprietary map data (not OSM) in their home country (Czechia) with comparable quality. No way to import other map data except GPS traces and POIs. Users are tied to their update schedule.

Rendering marked hiking trails

Mapy.com, both in app and on website features very well done rendering of marked hiking trails (in "tourism" layer)

Blind Friendly Map

They also have a printable map for the blind: Haptické mapy.cz
