What Organic Maps actually does
Organic Maps is an offline map and navigation app built on OpenStreetMap data. Download a country once over Wi-Fi and you can navigate with mobile data switched off entirely, which is the whole argument for it if you are roaming or living inside a tight data bundle.
There is no account, no advertising and no tracking. It does walking, cycling and driving directions, plus bookmarks and offline search. Because the map data is community-made, coverage varies: cities are usually excellent, remote areas can be patchy. If you find something wrong you can fix it upstream in OpenStreetMap and everyone gets the correction.
Be realistic about the size. The 61 MB download is just the app. Map files come on top and a single country can add several hundred megabytes. Budget the storage before you start.
Why this app is on Apkoras
Organic Maps is licensed under Apache-2.0, which explicitly permits redistribution. That licence is the written permission that lets us host the file at all.
The file we serve is the original binary from the project’s own release, with the developers’ signature untouched. We do not repackage, re-sign or modify it. The SHA-256 in the panel is the hash of that exact file, and the source is one click away if you would rather read it than trust us.

Common questions
Does Organic Maps really work with no internet?
Yes. Once you have downloaded the maps for an area, search and turn-by-turn navigation run entirely on the phone. You can keep the phone in aeroplane mode.
How much storage do the maps need?
It varies a lot by country. Expect anywhere from tens of megabytes for a small country to several hundred for a large one. The 61 MB app download does not include any maps.
Is it free? What is the catch?
It is free and there is no catch. There are no ads, no subscription and no data collection. The project is funded by donations.
How is this different from Google Maps?
No live traffic, no reviews, no street view and no account. In exchange: no tracking, no ads, and it works with the data off. Different tool for a different job.
How do I check my download is genuine?
On Windows run certutil -hashfile OrganicMaps-26071511-web-release.apk SHA256. On Linux or macOS use sha256sum. Compare it to the SHA-256 on this page.
