Features

A full map app on open data: maps, search, routes, public transport and turn-by-turn navigation.

This page describes the iPhone version, which is being built first. Versions for iPad, Android, macOS, Windows and the web will follow.

Maps

• OpenMap, the app's own vector map style, with places shown as coloured round icons. In dark mode it switches to OpenMap Night automatically.
• Satellite: Sentinel-2 cloudless imagery worldwide (EOX, Austria) and swisstopo aerial photos in Switzerland, with roads, names and places on top.
• Transit: a calm base map with trains, metro, light rail, trams, funiculars, cable cars and ferries drawn on top, one colour per mode.
• Terrain: relief shading, mountain peaks and contour lines from open elevation data.
• Winter Sports: a snowy map with ski pistes, lifts and cross-country trails from OpenSnowMap.
• Terrain, Satellite and Winter Sports are shown on real 3D terrain: tilt the map with two fingers.
• OSM map styles: OpenStreetMap Standard, CyclOSM, Humanitarian, OpenTopoMap, OSM France, OSM Germany, and the OpenFreeMap styles Liberty, Bright and Positron.
• Detail layers on top of any map: rail & tram (OpenRailwayMap) and cycling (CyclOSM).
• Areas you have already viewed stay visible without a network: the app keeps up to 512 MB of recently viewed map data on the device.

Search and places

• Search as you type, for addresses and places worldwide (Photon, based on OpenStreetMap).
• Browse 61 place categories in groups, from restaurants and pharmacies to charging stations (Overpass API).
• Voice search that runs entirely on your device (Whisper speech recognition, no audio leaves the device).
• Tap a label on the map, or long-press anywhere to drop a pin and see the address and what is mapped there.
• Home, Work, recent places and recent searches are stored only on your device.

Routes and navigation

• Routes by car, bicycle and on foot, with alternatives shown on the map (Valhalla, run by FOSSGIS in Germany).
• Public transport routes across Europe and beyond: leave now, depart at or arrive by a chosen time (Transitous, built on open timetable data).
• Choose a start or destination by moving the map.
• Turn-by-turn navigation with spoken instructions, generated on the device.
• Lane guidance when driving; the map zooms with your speed and shows the current street.
• Find fuel, food, shops, parking and more along the route ahead, and add a stop.
• Navigation keeps running with the screen locked.

Improve OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap is made by its users. With your own, free OpenStreetMap account you can improve the map from the app. Your changes go straight into OpenStreetMap, for everyone.

• Edit a place's details, such as opening hours, website or wheelchair access, with the same presets as OpenStreetMap's own iD editor.
• Add new places, and delete places that no longer exist.
• Draw areas such as gardens and garages, and lines such as paths and roads. In the Netherlands and Switzerland, aerial photos help you trace them.
• Leave a note for other mappers when you are not sure how to fix something.
• Answer quick questions about missing details of places nearby.
