It uses the crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data with contributors from all over the globe. It offers navigation with privacy - no location tracking, no data collection, and no phoning home so users can take control of their data. All Organic Maps features can operate without an active internet connection for offline navigation at urban or distant locations where a cell signal is not available. Organic Maps is an open-source project, and prioritizes community development. Mission Vision Unlock the freedom to easily navigate with privacy-focused maps for drivers, hikers, and cyclists, powered by the community. Create a world where navigating with maps has privacy by default and the top choice on the planet. History MapsWithMe (later renamed to Maps.me) was created by founders who later founded Organic Maps. Maps.me opened the source code under Apache 2.0 license. Organic Maps was founded by founders of Maps.me, based on open-source code. A public release was available in the app stores in August. Partnerships were formed with organizations such as TheHiking Club which navigates trails in the Alps, to strengthen connection with the community. The app hit a milestone of 1 million users around the world. Integration
