## Why donate to Organic Maps?
|
|
|
|
1. We rely on your donations to carry out our mission to keep Organic Maps open and free.
|
|
And free from ads.
|
|
2. We are a few enthusiasts contributing in our free time, and spending our families' money on the project.
|
|
We love what we do, and we love our users ❤️.
|
|
3. With your support, we want to become a better, privacy-focused version of Google Maps.
|
|
|
|
## What will the money be used for?
|
|
|
|
1. We pay for fast servers, so anyone in the World can download free map data updates without delays.
|
|
It's hundreds of terabytes monthly, and the amount is growing.
|
|
2. User support, bugfixing, and improving the stability of the app are at the top of our priorities.
|
|
There are [1200+ issues 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 faster, for example:
|
|
- Weekly and automated map data updates
|
|
- Bookmarks backup and sync
|
|
- Android Auto
|
|
- GPS track recorder with GPX support
|
|
- Better map styles for different activities
|
|
- Hill shading and 3D terrain
|
|
- Improve the OpenStreetMap editor
|
|
- Better offline address search, routing, and navigation
|
|
