Frequently Asked Questions
Does Organic Maps work without an internet connection?
Yes — Organic Maps is built for fully offline use. You download the map regions you need in advance, and then navigation, search, and bookmarking all work without a data connection, which is ideal for travel or remote areas where roaming is expensive or signal is absent. All map data lives on your device, so you stay on the grid even off the grid.
Where does Organic Maps get its map data from?
Organic Maps uses crowd-sourced data from OpenStreetMap, the free, community-maintained map dataset that powers many open-source projects. Because anyone can edit OpenStreetMap, you can contribute corrections for your own area and improve the map for everyone. The app was originally forked from Maps.Me by developers who wanted a version free of ads and tracking.
Does Organic Maps track my location or sell my data?
No. Organic Maps has no ads, no tracking, and no account — your location data never leaves your device and the app runs entirely offline. There is no sign-in, no telemetry, and no data collection to monetise. The project is developed by a community and funded by donations rather than by harvesting user data.
