Offline maps for travel, hikes, and rides. Smooth navigation without signal or battery drain. OpenStreetMap data, 100% free, ad-free.
Organic Maps is a fast, detailed offline map and GPS navigation app for travel, hikes, and rides. Plan, import, and record routes, and enjoy smooth guidance without draining your battery or using an internet connection. Explore places and navigate safely during your outdoor adventures and travels around the world. The app offers unlimited map downloads and biweekly updates. OpenStreetMap-based, volunteer-made, privacy-first, 100% offline, and 100% free.
OFFLINE: The app works 100% offline — including search and navigation. You can explore the map and navigate without an internet connection, saving on mobile data and roaming fees. And with no background data transfers, your battery lasts much longer.
FAST: Zooming, search, and route calculations work noticeably fast.
DETAILED & UPDATED: The maps are rich in detail and refreshed twice a month to reflect real-world conditions. Unlike many well-known competitors, they include building labels, benches, hiking paths, and other helpful information.
OPENSTREETMAP-BASED: OpenStreetMap is a wiki-style world map built and maintained by millions of volunteers — locals who know their areas best. This community effort results in highly detailed maps, often more accurate than commercial ones in less-mapped regions. Organic Maps updates its data from OpenStreetMap every two weeks, keeping your maps fresh and reliable. And if you notice something missing, you can add it to OpenStreetMap and help improve the map for everyone.
PRIVACY-FIRST: We don’t collect any data or identifiers. This means there’s no risk of data leaks and no distractions like ads or noisy notifications — just a clean, private map experience.

I downloaded this because I wasn’t going to have data on my trip to Europe, and I’m on a version of iOS that doesn’t support offline map download in the stock maps app. Let me tell you, this app is an absolute life saver and genuine convenience to have. It lets you download maps for any country you want and then once you do that, the maps work 100% offline because it uses your GPS to determine where you are. I’ve tested it thoroughly, and as long as you’re on the surface or not too far underground, it always works. You can even search places on the map like stores, and it finds the nearest ones to you and can route to them from your current location, and even shows you driving/walking/biking/subway distances and times. You can mark favorites/pins on the map and name them so you never get lost. We were having trouble locating our Airbnb but I pinned the location before we left so we were able to find it effortlessly. It’s very battery efficient, versatile, and simplistic. Best of all, it’s completely free and has no premium features locked behind a paywall, or any ads! There’s nothing to hate here, so the developers have my utmost respect for making such an awesome app. I’m happy to say this will absolutely replace the Apple Maps app. 5/5 stars from me!

Best Offline Hiking Companion
DRul3r
I tried Apple and Google maps (offline / downloaded maps) AND the official National Parks app and none of them came close to the usability of this app. Apple and Google maps were super hard to read / visually see the trails, and required you be a certain zoom level (to be highlight the trail) that was too far in to be useful, used a decent bit of battery life even in airplane mode, AND couldn't route in offline mode.This app fixed all those problems, smaller offline map size, insanely legible trails and legends, almost no battery drain, showed elevation charts, and I could search offline.Came across a couple on the mountain that were struggling to navigate with one of the above apps and was able to instantly tell them where we were and where they wanted to go. They were shocked how easy this app made it seem and I recommended it to them.Perfect, 5 stars, love it. Can't explain how great it feels to have a proper working offline digital map.

Directions Where You Want to Go - Not Ads
Rebekah435
I’m literally laughing at my own review title because it’s one of those things you never expect to have to say... But yes, after not using Apple or Google maps for some time, I had to look up directions to my doctors office this morning and after my directions turned into a screen of ads, I switched from one app to the other, and realized both are just feeding me a bunch of ads while I’m trying to research my route to ensure that I can arrive safely. Why on earth anyone would think that was a good idea is beyond me - and apparently everyone else on the Internet lol Thankfully it looks like everyone else has been struggling with this longer than I have, so I was able to quickly find Organic Maps, download it, see that it has dark mode, enter a test route, and see that it’s actually giving me directions to my doctor’s office and not showing me any other irrelevant information in the process.It seems so basic yet why did I have to download a third app to get this basic functionality? LOL Looking forward to getting where I need to go, without wasting my limited, hyperfocused, energy, on swiping away irrelevant information! :) thank you for creating this app and keeping it relevant! :)

Excellent app, but missing a few features.
Official Monkey Business
I recently downloaded this app after hearing about it. Previously, I relied on applications such as Avenza and Gaia maps for offline navigation. However, they presented challenges: downloading additional offline areas incurred costs, and certain features were inaccessible. Organic Maps stands out due to its user-friendly interface, support, and extensive features.Nevertheless, I have a few suggestions:- It would be beneficial if users could press and hold on any location on the map to view its elevation. This would facilitate the determination of precise elevations anywhere on the map.- Integration of additional map layers (such as Satellite, Shaded relief, etc.) and the ability to download them for offline use.- Implementation of advanced navigation and GPS tools, including area calculation, coordinates derivation by offset (enabling users to select a location, specify distance and direction, and generate coordinates), GPX track recording, selection of various compass types (magnetic, true, grid), and dynamic routing.This app is commendable, and the incorporation of these features would further enhance its utility.
