Reviews for Organic Maps: Hike Bike Drive

I love the app, it's great, simple and never breaks. I use it on my motorbike for rally riding. it would have 5 stars but the touch screen waypoint drives me mad. you should be able to disable it, or press to hold to go to location. when I'm using the map with my fingers (which is a lot) it's constantly directing me to wherever I touch, and then I have to press a load of other buttons to get it off then it directs me somewhere else. one misclick (with gloves) and that's it. please patch this

This isn't an app you use to drive to a new house by address or find directions to a restaurant. You use this for traveling by carbohydrate. It obsoletes ALL subscription trail map apps. Being able to zoom down to a dime in parks and rivers, navigate without a data plan, and finding water and toilets has come in clutch on more than a handful of hikes. Mentioned this app to my brother when he was shoving off for a trip overseas, and it came up big in finding them a public restroom.

Learning to love it... and I've now recommended it to others, mostly due to the extra information available (without internet) about points of interest on the map. Also easy to mark where you left the car and to backtrack if need be. For road use I'm not as keen due to sometimes getting unusable or impractical routes offered, although that's really an OpenStreetMaps shortcoming.

I love using Organic Maps for its simplicity and privacy-focused design. However, I’d like to suggest adding a ruler feature to measure distances between two or more points, similar to what Google Maps and Maps.me offer. This would be incredibly helpful for planning trips or calculating routes more effectively. It’s a small addition that could make a big difference for users. Thanks for the great work so far!

Turn-by-turn directions failed. (1)Voice is too quiet compared to other audio. To hear it, I have to raise phone volume to levels painful for other apps. (2)When the t-b-t voice speaks, it stops my podcast app playing, and the podcast does not restart. Other mapping apps (Google Maps) pause rather than stop the podcast app, so it can restart when the instructions are finished. (3)It got in a loop trying to get me to the address, making me drive around it in a circle.

Very good app, especially for exploring with no internet since you can download maps offline. I use organic maps for years (even before when it was MapsWithMe) and I was surprised it has more detalis than google maps for things like a water tap in the middle of nowhere and other useful things. Lately the app started freezing my phone and I need to force restar it. I have tried reporting a bug but when you click the button in the app you have an option to download logs zip file. 4*, 5 if fixed.

This is the best open-source maps app I've tried so far. However, it doesn't have as many features as Google Maps (e.g. no traffic-based drive time or accident reporting), and it often can't find a place name that Google Maps can (so I have to get the address from Google before this app can take me there). Hopefully these points will be addressed soon. While this isn't refined enough to be my only maps app, it's good for a majority of my adventures.

Amazing app. Works as well as the openstreetmap database behind it, so no, not everything is there, but it's easy to add it and contribute. Runs so much better than google maps without all the spying software, and is great for hiking. I just wish the altitude on the elevation contours could be feet or meters.

Solid map app. I like that I can use it offline.. that is, as long as you have maps downloaded, the world comes to you in 50-100mbs packets at a time. Which is not a con as much as a notion to be aware of. There is a trick to 'googling' addresses, and I've had some wild success in copy-pasting where I need to go. Works on about 60-70% of the cemeteries I need to visit for work. It does lack some minor optimization qualities to the norm, but the 'norm' (cabal) hates the world, so... 6/5!

Very lightweight, use to take notes of places quickly. Navigation I still use Google maps as it often goes on strange longer routes. Something changed in recent updates so cannot scroll down to lower parts of long notes anymore, inaccessible. Tad annoying having to scroll west to east to access Asia as it doesn't pan across the world. OpenStreetMap metadata tags for bathroom gender isn't shown, some airports or malls in asia have very distantly spaced gendered bathrooms.

I use for offline backpacking / hiking/ mountain biking & love it! Excellent tool. Simple & easy to use. My only suggestion is that you really have to be zoomed in to "see" trails. I like how CalTopo shows more when zoomed out, but CalTopo is almost the opposite extreme. If there were some "trail resolve" slider to select upper limit on area viewable footprint trails are shown. UPDATED: enable "Outdoor Style" via topLeft button

Can't find addresses that are in OSM data. Takes long time to calculate route. Route for no motorway Gardendale Al 2 McDonough Ga goes 60 miles (approx) north before going to destination that is east and a little south. Interface is good. Navigating the route displays smooth. Fonts are too small. No ads. Short distance routing is better than road trip. Easy to use interface.

I'm updating my review. I am on Graphene OS and I prefer not to use Google Maps. I came back to Organic Maps and it's great, but could be better in AA. I would like to see the following features in AA - automatic driving mode if no destination is selected and movement is detected, zoom out in driving mode based on speed, and orient the map in the direction of travel. Also, selecting a nav point should require a long press, not the slightest touch of the screen. Cheers, RP.

It's great to have the original Maps.me functionality back. This version is just so much easier to use and write up descriptions for your Bookmarks and categories. I have been using the older Maps.me for years offline when I travel overseas as to not use data connection and this make that again possible with Organic Maps. The only draw back I have is I just can't find a way to sort my bookmarks. You can sort the locations within the bookmarks, but not the bookmarks itself...

I want to like it, but... Sometimes will take you 95% of the way to the destination and then tell you to get on an expressway for the last 1 mile, when there is a perfectly good non toll road to finish the trip. And search by business name is terrible. Most of the time biz is not found. Who searches with the actual address anymore?

This is a simple, free and ad free navigation app that just works. I have discovered so many great places on foot and found tracks not available on other maps. I highly recommend it. It has far exceeded my expectations for a free app. Some improvements at the time of writing could be finer contours (in many parts of the world it is 50m).

I first opened the settings menu and realized this was the map app for me. Then I started a download search, getting even better. I can download by state and not by an overall area which would give me more than I wanted. Tapping on a location and being able to easily change the GPS coordinates into the format I want to copy. The ability to open the selected location in another app so quickly. I don't have to copy and paste GPS coordinates from this app to another. Keep up the good work.

Great app, keep up the good work! My go to GPS thus far, was here, version 2. something, which I did not update since they started changing it. Recently noticed that it will not guide you, unless it has the internet connection. Weird, as my same version app installed on the car's android radio works just fine, without the internet too. So, it was time to part our ways and decided to give the O.M second chance. Glad I did, as it has pottenciall to become my favorite gps app from now on.

This app is an excellent alternative to Google Maps. That being said, it does lack a few quality of life features (such as Android Auto support, which is coming in a branch on GitHub). My only real gripe is a big one though - it doesn't always navigate you to the exact location of landmarks (for example, Disney Springs sends you to the valet pickup instead of the entrance).

I have been using this app to navigate around Asia for the last seven years, even in remote areas and countries with poor connectivity. I use it every day, often many times per day, and I love it. The offline maps are great, I can add pins, export pins to share with friends, and there is zero superfluous nonsense. The app is clean, simple, and works well. My one wish: a single-color overlay showing all trains, not just subway, so I can see the cross-country routes. Thank you, creators!
