## Why donate to Organic Maps?
|
|
|
|
1. Our goal is to provide a privacy-focused, fast and easy-to-use alternative to Google Maps and Apple Maps.
|
|
2. Improving public map data for the numerous websites, apps and platforms which use OpenStreetMap, and involving more people in contributing map info is our another goal.
|
|
3. We rely on your donations to keep Organic Maps open and free for everyone.
|
|
And free from ads.
|
|
4. We love what we do, and we love our users ❤️.
|
|
|
|
## Why a free project needs money?
|
|
|
|
1. In 2023, Organic Maps got its first million users.
|
|
Our servers provide free, fast and frequent map updates all over the world.
|
|
2. User support, bugfixing and publishing quality app updates are at the top of our priorities.
|
|
There are [~2000 bug reports and feature requests on GitHub][github issues], and this number is growing every day.
|
|
AppStore, Google Play, and support emails are overflooded with comments and bugs. We want to deliver a high-quality product.
|
|
3. With enough money, new features can be developed. To name a few:
|
|
- Backup and sync bookmarks and tracks
|
|
- GPS track recorder with GPX export
|
|
- Satellite imagery
|
|
- Public Transport
|
|
- Traffic and accident reporting
|
|
- Photos and Reviews
|
|
- Map styles for different activities
|
|
- Hill shading and 3D terrain
|
|
- More advanced OpenStreetMap editor
|
|
