## What is Oolel Maps?

Oolel Maps is the navigation and addressing app built for Africa.

Open the map and find your way — even where street names don't exist or change between languages. Oolel Maps was designed from day one for places where traditional mapping apps fall short: dirt roads in Nouakchott, neighborhoods known by local landmarks instead of postal codes, regions absent from the world's main maps.

KEY FEATURES

Africa-first navigation
• Turn-by-turn driving, walking, and cycling directions on roads other apps don't know
• Public transit routing — bus lines, fares, and timetables across Nouakchott and beyond
• Real-time alerts for service disruptions and route changes
• Background navigation keeps your route updating when the screen is locked

Multilingual by default
• Full interface in العربية, français, and English
• Place names rendered in your chosen language with proper Arabic right-to-left layout
• Searchable in any of the three languages

Built-in offline mode
• Download regions for offline search and navigation when you lose signal
• Works in the desert, in remote villages, or anywhere connectivity drops

Crowdsourced addressing
• Add an address for your home, your shop, or a place that doesn't exist on other maps
• Suggest edits to existing places — verified by local moderators
• Report inaccurate or inappropriate content with a tap

Discover nearby
• Restaurants, pharmacies, fuel stations, ATMs, and more
• Opening hours, contact info, and walking distance at a glance

Save and share
• Bookmark your home, workplace, and favorite spots
• Send a location, place, or route to anyone via WhatsApp, SMS, or any messaging app

PRIVACY

Location is used only to show you on the map and provide turn-by-turn navigation. Background location is enabled only while a navigation session is active. Sign-in is optional — browse, search, and navigate as a guest. Sign in with Apple is supported.
