"Every month, Google sends me a report on my online activity, and I must say that I'm not a fan. In fact, the idea that Google is tracking me via Maps disturbs me. That's not the only issue I have with the default Maps app. It seems that every time I have to rely on the app, my Pixel 9 Pro's battery drains faster than when using any other app."
"Offline search and route planning (with or without a network connection) Less battery drain than Google Maps No identifying people, no tracking, and no data collection Free and no ads Voice-guided directions Access to offline Wikipedia articles and subway maps The ability to mark and save locations Support for exporting and importing data (to KML, KMZ, and GPX formats) A built-in map editor (which helps improve the OpenStreeMap data)"
CoMaps is a privacy-first, open-source mapping app for Android and iOS that uses OpenStreetMap data and a lineage from MapsWithMe and Organic Maps. CoMaps provides offline search, route planning, and turn-by-turn voice guidance that work without a network connection, reducing battery drain compared with Google Maps. The app collects no identifying data, performs no tracking, and runs ad-free. Users can access offline Wikipedia articles and subway maps, mark and save locations, and export/import KML, KMZ, and GPX files. A built-in map editor enables community-driven improvements to OpenStreetMap data. The project is community-driven and not profit-focused.
