Organic Maps・Offline Map & GPS

Organic Maps・Offline Map & GPS is an open-source application for Android in the Navigation category. It provides offline maps and GPS navigation for travel, hiking, trekking, and cycling. The app is intended for people who need to explore places, plan journeys, or follow routes without relying on an internet connection. Map viewing, search, and navigation continue to work offline, which can help limit mobile data and roaming use.

Users can search for places by address, name, or category and browse millions of points of interest. Place information can include opening hours, Wikipedia articles, wheelchair accessibility, and other available details. The app supports route planning, route importing, and route recording. GPS navigation includes voice guidance, while map interaction, search, and route calculations are designed to work quickly. Maps include details such as building labels, benches, and hiking paths, and the map data is refreshed twice a month. Map downloads are unlimited.

The maps are based on OpenStreetMap, a volunteer-maintained project that gathers local geographic information from contributors around the world. Users who find missing information can add it to OpenStreetMap, helping improve the underlying map data. Organic Maps follows a privacy-first approach and does not collect data or identifiers. Its offline operation avoids background data transfers, and the app does not include ads or noisy notifications.

MirrorNest distributes the Android version by mirroring the official build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication. Its open-source license identifies the application as software developed and distributed under an open-source model. These characteristics place it in MirrorNest’s Android Navigation category as an offline mapping and route guidance tool.
