Organic Maps — Free, Open-Source, Private, Low Battery mapping app for Hiking, Biking, Trails and Navigation Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travellers, tourists, hikers, drivers, and cyclists based on OpenStreetMap data created by the community. It is a privacy-focused, open-source fork of Maps.me app (previously known as MapsWithMe), maintained by the same people who created MapsWithMe in 2011. Features: * Detailed offline maps with places that don't exist on other maps, thanks to OpenStreetMap * 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 and Android Auto * Fast offline search on the map * Export/import bookmarks in KML/KMZ, import GPX * Dark Mode to protect your eyes * Countries and regions don't take a lot of space * Free and open-source Why Organic? * Respects your privacy (requires no Google login nor registration) * Saves your battery * No unexpected mobile data charges * No ads * No tracking * No data collection * No phoning home * No annoying registration * No mandatory tutorials * No noisy email spam * No push notifications * No crapware It is based on OpenStreetMaps, so I could see a little known trail in the middle of the Cederberg mountains in South Africa. The great thing though with OpenStreetMaps is, if something dos nor exist, you can just add it yourself. It installs on iOS and Android phones (including from F-Droid and Obtanium), but I was also p[leased to see a Flatpak install for Linux desktops as well.

Been using Organic maps for a couple of years now and never looked back. Great privacy preserving alternative to Google and apple maps. Would 100% recommend 🤝 nostr:nevent1qqsz85gzjcwg9kaalufu4ypjgc8t7ugkqqm5tkfuem5kjtwrqr2v77spz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsygzz5svh33gukqrftgvdumyh2jusugyd6vwjs508c6gsfzvurt4q8cpsgqqqqqqswkprsm

This looks like an awesome app, especially for someone who loves hiking and privacy. I didn’t know there was an option like this that’s open-source and doesn’t track you. Cool that you can add trails too! Will definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing!

It's an excellent app. I use it since long time. When I go to vacation I download the maps of the region on my phone. Even restaurants etc are searchable. Who TF still needs Google Maps? Only downside: You may support them with onchain BTC and shitcoins, but not with lightning.
