Organic Maps has more features, and will have even more features.

The code used by the fork was never published. It was stolen from a private repository and a private server, and then published/used in the fork without the authors' approval. That's a serious legal issue.

The fork also took the new website design that was developed for Organic Maps even before the Organic Maps website was updated.

Don't believe everything on the internet; there are many lies spread around.

No, you got it wrong.

Roman supported the private repo and was aware of the temporary (last 3 days only) CF logs to address CDN abuse. However, several hours ago, he (or someone else using his account?) unexpectedly made the repository public without discussing it with the project's maintainers. As a result, his account rights were temporarily restricted to clarify the situation.

There is still no response from Roman regarding his motivation for ignoring the usual governing board rules. Previously, all similar important project decisions were always discussed with maintainers/active contributors before being executed.

I hope that we resolve this strange situation successfully soon.

This wasn't a review process for a new update. The already approved app version was unexpectedly removed without any warnings.

As a temporary workaround for the Google Play issue, you can install the new upcoming Google Play update from this link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GoogleP...

The original subway validator was created by the original (before the second sale) maps.me team. Now it is supported voluntarily.

We pay it out of pocket or from users' donations.

Please make sure that you have up-to-date app and maps data, and tell us where you see cross-border routing issues. There's an easy way to report it from the app using "Report a bug" button in the About dialog.

Can you please send us more details about non-working search queries at support [at] organicmaps.app (or report it on our Github), considering that addresses or POIs that you're searching for are _present_ on osm.org ?

Please write us more details about search issues at support [at] organicmaps.app, or even better, create/update an issue on our Github: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues

If trails have names in osm.org but names are not present in OM, please let us know, it's a bug.

OSM Public Transport schemes support for buses and trams is not implemented yet, and it's not an easy task. Any volunteers to lead the development are welcome!

Here is the entry point to the current subways validator with wiki links at the bottom: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/subway/

We're actively improving our search in every release. Stay tuned!

New owners of Maps.Me ruined the offline UX in one of the updates in 2020. We could not allow our "baby" to die like this.

The project runs on our own money and users' donations.

With enough support, we can replace Google Maps in most use-cases in the future. Because we are listening to our users, and are actively using Organic Maps ourselves.

What about iOS?

This feature is planned, please check our Github and other 1800+ features/issues :)

We're not alone, our community and contributors are helping us!

We have created maps.me, open-sourced it, and then forked it to create Organic Maps.

That's planned, now as we fixed some background location-related issues, nothing is blocking the track recording feature.

GPX import was already implemented several months ago.

GPX import was already implemented several months ago.

In OM, we have faster renderer, more compact maps and focus on easier UX for general public. All app’s features are free. And we plan to increase the frequency of map updates, and of course add more features.

Our planned business model is to enable donations :)

It's a modified A*. Our code is open, you may learn and improve it :)
