Organic Maps is a free and open-source, offline navigation application that utilizes map data from OpenStreetMap. The app is designed to function without internet connectivity by allowing users to download maps for offline use. Organic Maps emphasizes privacy, as it does not track user locations or collect personal data.^[3]

Organic Maps prioritizes user privacy by not collecting personal data or tracking user locations.

Organic Maps functions entirely offline by allowing users to download maps in advance. Once maps are downloaded, navigation, search, and route planning do not require an internet connection. The app offers offline maps of the world, including cycling routes, hiking trails, walking paths, contour lines, elevation profiles, peaks, and slopes.

The app is designed to optimize battery usage during navigation.

Organic Maps provides navigation for various activities, including hiking, biking, driving, and public transport. It supports turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance and allows users to search for information on the map and add bookmarks.

Organic Maps integrates with the OpenStreetMap project, utilizing its crowdsourced map data. The app includes an in-app editor that allows users to contribute updates to the map, such as businesses and landmarks.

Organic Maps was developed by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako, who previously founded Maps.Me.^[3] Maps.Me, originally launched in 2011 as MapsWithMe, became open-source in 2015. In 2021, Borsuk and Govako forked the Maps.Me codebase to create Organic Maps, focusing on privacy and performance improvements. The first public release of Organic Maps was made available in app stores in August 2021.
