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.
