Organic Maps: GPS navigation 4+

Join the movement, be a leader for your community

After realising and understanding just how much of my data has been taken my Google Maps, I’m being slightly disappointed that although Apple maps are fantastic experience and really safe and they just don’t have all the details on and when I tried updating the really slow, this is just the best there is great detail on here have been updated by local people. It is super easy to add and correct things and it’s totally free and private. You get more people involved with your community. As soon as you’re all using it. Your local area will be populated and feel that with correct information super quick, and then if everyone did that, we would be outstripping googles performance easily. with no cost to our privacy, flipping amazing, well done I will be donating a small amount to you. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your support! Right, the community is the power!

Excellent design philosophy, thanks

I use almost daily a number of mapping apps, both on desktop Mac and iOS / iPad. I also regularly update the OSM base-map on my travels. On iOS I find GoMap! great for editing the OSM database and I also use UKMap for offline mapping in the UK. On Garmin I find the TalkyToaster (paid for) maps the best for small screens. I use GPXStudio (web-based) to create new tracks, it has a Strava Heat-map layer which is brilliant. So, I can do almost all GPX editing and creating now with iOS based tools.

A need to use mapping outside the UK in September this year brought me here! All the apps I used to use abroad are more or less dead, replaced with strange paid for only options with lots of social functionality, which doesn’t interest me at all.

Organic Maps is clear and simple to use. I hope to be able to curate and display a lot of tracks I have collected over the years. (I use GPX viewer for this at the moment). But organising many different sets of data can get a bit tiresome.

Organic Maps does iCloud sync, which is very very good too. Means I can curate the tracks on my iPad and have them appear instantly on the iPhone for use outside. It would be great if there were an Intel Mac version of Organic Maps too… I see you have a solution that can work with Apple Silicone…! An excuse to buy one of those?

I look forward to future update.

I will have to donate in the near future once I’ve used it a bit more.

Thanks.

Great ad free app!

Overall I’ve been very pleased with the app. It’s been extremely useful when out hiking, as regions can be downloaded and used completely offline. No ads, everything works as it should, and I like the map style too! A few improvements I would really like to see on the future: - Being able to plan custom walking routes (incrementally point by point instead of adding stops). I might have just missed it but I can’t find a way of planning a walk in a full loop (same start and finish). The ability to choose from a range of base layer maps would be helpful. For a free app it’s amazing though!

** UPDATE
I must’ve missed the fact it has GPX support so thanks for letting me know!

GPX import already works. Open a GPX file with Organic Maps from any other app.

Other features are planned, they require more focus on the UX.
