Qwant Maps is an open source project made by the creators of the search engine Qwant, mainly using OSM data to render its maps. The web application respects the user's privacy, and claims to never track or sell user data.[1]

The projects features a location search, visualisation of POI data, as well as car, pedestrian, and bike routing.
