No ads. Ever. That's Silver. 🥾

Locus Map Silver Premium gives you ad-free navigation, an elevation profile for every route, and offline elevation with no signal needed.

The trail deserves your full attention.

Why do we regularly update our map files? Because thanks to thousands of OpenStreetMap editors, the maps are constantly getting better, like seen here. Do you contribute to OSM? Then show us some of your own favorite before/after map images in CoMaps!

The best day to quit #googlemaps was 20 yrs ago. The second best day is today.
The same is true for improving OpenStreetMap* for your own city.
* As being one of the most important resources for basically every non-BigTech map and navigation.
Want to switch to non-US BigTech maps, but experience incomplete or outdated POI’s in your area?

Contribute to improvement of #openstreetmap, e.g. with easy & accessible apps like:
- every-door.app
- streetcomplete.app
- @comaps.app
- or directly on www.openstreetmap.org

Why will lake Ontario stay Lake Ontario on maps that are based on OpenStreetMap, such as cartes.app ?

Because the community introduced 🟠's names as a new attribute that doesn't replace the name:en (en=English).

Map applications usually don't use this tag 😏

The ‘problem’ with maps and navigation apps other than #googlemaps, is not that they’re not equally good.

The problem is all these #businesses who refuse/forget to add their business details in #OpenStreetMap, and only update their business info in googlemaps where copying is not permitted.
Are your favourite #shops, #restaurants, bars, or other #businesses still not present on #openstreetmap?

You can add them yourself, or perhaps even better, (also) send them a message to let them know that they are lagging behind and that the world is bigger than the googlosphere.

New maps with data from August 30 are now out. They will also be used in the next release version of CoMaps.

Speaking off new release: the 2026.08.31 version is already available for Android on Codeberg – and submitted for review with Google Play and iOS.

And what’s even more awesome, there are special apps like every-door.app to make it even more easy and convenient to update #shops, #businesses and other POI’s on #OpenStreetMap (you do need an openstreetmap account for that)

Well if Canada (et le Québec) wants to use a european alternative to Google Maps, ce serait avec plaisir.

Maps are one of the non-negociable things that you need for sovereignty.

Do not hesitate to share to share, we need users outside of France, where we're born.

🗺️ Summer plans don't happen by accident. Map a road trip, a week in the mountains, or a weekend of geocaching with the Locus Map Web Planner — draw routes, check elevation & stats, add geocaches or stops, then share via link/QR or sync to LM4. web.locusmap.app

Still dependent on 🇺🇸 maps and #navigation apps? 🤡🤦‍♂️❌

#BuyEuropean, use 🇪🇺 maps & navigation. For example:
🇨🇿 mapy.com
🇪🇺 @comaps.app www.comaps.app
🇳🇱 wego.here.com

If they’re not complete, there’s an awesome solution: YOUR active contribution! No experience required.

A great way to update #openstreetmap for your region: check (and update) older POIs of a specific type for your region.
For example, all pharmacies in #Niederösterreich that have not been updated for more than 5 years: overpass-turbo.eu/s/2hGO (change area and timeframe, then ‘Run’). #osm #maps
overpass turbo
A web based data mining tool for OpenStreetMap which runs any kind of Overpass API query and shows the results on an interactive map.
