⚠️ The March 2024 update of Organic Maps on GitHub has changed the internal application identifier from app.organicmaps to app.organicmaps.web to allow installation of Web (GitHub) version alongside versions from stores. This change requires migration from the old version to the new app. Export all your bookmarks and tracks, and import them into a new version.
