What it is

Organic Maps is an offline maps and GPS app for walking, cycling, hiking and driving. Its website says it is "powered by OpenStreetMap data", which is crowd-sourced map data, and that it is made by the community behind the earlier MapsWithMe (Maps.Me) app. You download maps for a country or region, then search and navigate without an internet connection. It is not an AI tool. We included it because it is a free app from an official source.

Is it free?

Yes. Organic Maps' homepage says "Absolutely free. No ads. No tracking." Its GitHub page calls it "a free Android & iOS offline maps app" and says it relies on donations. Its terms page says the app is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. We found no paid tier on the pages we read. Donations are optional.

What it does

Offline maps and search once you have downloaded the map. Turn-by-turn walking, cycling and car navigation with voice guidance, and metro maps.
Bookmarks can be imported and exported in formats such as KML, GPX and GeoJSON.
The homepage says it supports 100% of features without an internet connection. We did not test this.

India

We found no India-specific statement, India map size, or age limit on the pages we read, and we did not check whether the app is listed in your country's store. Its site links to the App Store, Google Play, F-Droid and Huawei AppGallery.
The maps come from OpenStreetMap volunteers, so detail can vary by area. AiCoN advice: check your route against a second source before a long trip, and do not rely on it alone in an emergency.

Privacy and data

Organic Maps' privacy policy says it does not track you, and that there is "no collection of location or statistical or personal data from your device whatsoever". It says there is no registration.
The homepage says the Android app is verified by the Exodus Privacy project and the iOS app by TrackerControl. We did not check those reports.
The app is operated by Organic Maps OU, a company in Tallinn, Estonia, according to its terms page.

AiCoN checkRead Organic Maps' homepage, privacy policy, terms and GitHub page on 14 October 2026. We did not install or test the app and did not check map download sizes.
