Privacy-focused, open-source, free and fast offline maps without ads.

Organic Maps is an open source, community-developed map display and satnav-style navigation app for walkers, drivers, and cyclists. The app offers worldwide offline maps based on OpenStreetMap data, and navigation with privacy - no location tracking, no data collection, and no ads. In fact most features operate without a data connection, ideal for travel on distant hiking trails or locations with poor connections. The app is free and open-source software, with priority for community development and collaboration.[1]

Features

  • Offline maps based on OpenStreetMap data
  • Cycling routes, hiking trails, and walking paths
  • Contour lines, elevation profiles, peaks, and slopes
  • Turn-by-turn walking, cycling, and car navigation with voice guidance
  • Fast offline search on the map
  • Bookmarks
  • Dark mode
  • Editing points of interest in OpenStreetMap

GPX Track recording (iOS only)

You need to use the "Recent track" option (app's settings – Map – Recent track) and set 1 day instead of 1 hour. Recent track stores in gps_track.dat file. Located at "MapsWithMe" folder. To convert .dat file to .gpx you need to use converters 1, 2.

Privacy policy

The app developers pledge to only request the bare minimum of permissions necessary to deliver the offline maps, and to ensure:

  • No ads
  • No tracking
  • No data collection
  • No connections to servers
  • No registration
  • No spam emails
  • No bloatware

Developer
