What's New in maps.earth

1.14

June 8, 2026

Fixed a couple of rough edges: When you are navigating, and the map is following your current location, you can now zoom in while keeping the map following your location. First time users who haven't yet given location permissions will be prompted for their current location when asking for navigation directions. Show "you've arrived" screen more pro-actively - it used to be hit or miss if you weren't quite close enough. Experimental "offline maps" mode will download map tiles for a prescribed area. Note that routing and search will not work while offline. This is an experimental feature, and as such, any map data you download might be lost between app updates.

User reviews

Giving it a Try

I’m giving it a try. Right out of the gate, one very positive feature—currently lacking in every other open source, community driven navigation app—is the ability to choose from multiple routes.

Need to see how it works with Car Play.

Locks up

You do a search for a place you want to go and it just locks up on the search results making it totally unusable

Response from developer

Sorry about that! There was a mysterious hang that only manifested on some device form factors. This has been fixed since 1.12. Thanks for reporting the issue and giving maps.earth a try!
