Minimalist, private, standard OpenStreetMap style, high-resolution retina tiles | |
Private Maps is a minimalist and lightweight iOS, iPadOS, and macOS map application focused on privacy. The app displays maps in the standard OpenStreetMap style. The high-resolution raster tiles are used to provide best user experience on retina screens. Because of the raster tile use, the map doesn't suffer from the simplification on the lower zoom levels that can be seen in the apps using vector tiles. In addition to that, because all rendering of the raster tiles happen on the server, the app can preserve more battery charge.

Privacy
The app does not collect and does not share the usage data. The app does not embed any analytical frameworks. Even the OpenStreetMap servers do not see the usage data. The app uses its own server infrastructure for rendering and hosting tiles. The servers do not collect and do not share any data from the tile download network requests made by the app.
