MAPS.ME is #1 free mobile offline map for travellers with over 140 million installations all over the world (as of Q3 2019), available for iOS and Android and translated into 28 languages. MAPS.ME covers all countries of the world which are available for download from within the application. After the download, the maps and all the built-in features work offline and do not require an internet connection (map, search, filters, car/pedestrian/bike/transit routing and navigation with voice instructions). With the internet connection, you can also get free car traffic in 38 countries and access a public catalog with thousands of travel guides and itineraries, created by professional companies and individual bloggers and active travelers. MAPS.ME gets its map data from OpenStreetMap.org (Wikipedia of maps) β an open database of geographic information which is updated by the community of 5.7M contributors. The application includes the map data in full details with streets, house names, tourist attractions, hiking/cycling trails, local businesses and many other information. The map is fast and detailed thanks to several breakthrough technologies: extremely compact map data compression and high speed rendering, which is 4-10x faster than other map apps.
