CoMaps – Hike, Bike, Drive Offline – Easy Map Navigation with Privacy
A community-led free & open source maps app based on OpenStreetMap data and reinforced with commitment to transparency, privacy and being not-for-profit. CoMaps is a fork/spin-off of Organic Maps, which in turn is a fork of Maps.ME.
There are apps for Android and iOS (and ARM macOS). An alpha linux / macOS Qt desktop version, which is also suitable for linux phones.
We're working on getting first app releases out soon, please stay tuned!
Offline-focused: Plan and navigate your trip abroad without the need for cellular service, search waypoints while on a distant hike, etc. All app functions are designed to work offline.
Respecting Privacy: The app is designed with privacy in mind - does not identify people, does not track, and does not collect personal information. Ads-free.
Simple and Polished: essential easy to use features that just work.
Saves Your Battery and Space: Doesn’t drain your battery like other navigation apps. Compact maps save precious space on your phone.
Free and Built by the Community: People like you helped build the app by adding places to OpenStreetMap, testing and giving feedback on features and contributing their development skills and money.
Open and Transparent Decision-making and Financials, Not-for-profit and Fully Open Source.
