## What is OpenMaps?

OpenMaps turns your iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac into a complete outdoor and marine navigation kit — powered by free, community-sourced OpenStreetMap data.

OUTDOOR & MARINE IN ONE APP
Switch between an Outdoor profile (hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running) and a Marine profile with OpenSeaMap nautical overlays — buoys, lighthouses, depths and harbours. One app for the trail and the water.

WORKS WHERE THERE'S NO SIGNAL
Topographic tiles are cached on device and can be pre-downloaded, so your map keeps working deep in the mountains or offshore where there's no connection.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED OUTDOORS
• 6 open-source topographic & nautical map styles
• Draw routes tap-by-tap with live distance & elevation
• Turn-by-turn directions with haptic guidance
• Import and export Garmin FIT files, plus GPX
• Find nearby POIs: refuges, water, peaks, marinas, fuel and more
• Built-in tools: compass, altimeter, sunrise/sunset, coordinates
• Live weather, wind and conditions for your location

ON YOUR WRIST & ON YOUR DESK
• Apple Watch app: record workouts with HealthKit, standalone map, Digital Crown zoom, Always-On mode and on-wrist route navigation
• Watch complications & widgets: altimeter, nearest POI, live workout, weather
• Mac app: menu bar access, Spotlight search and Quick Look map previews

### 1/5 — Adverts

*2026-08-10, version 10.3*

Update. Developer has contacted me to tell me that the full page ads are now gone. That is if I buy the pro version!!! Totally missing the point of my review I will not be using this app agin poor service a map with ads total rubbish ————
Launched the app first time and a full page advert with count down to close. Uninstalled..

### 1/5 — Schrott!

*2026-07-13*

Startet gar nicht, habe es eben nach dem letzten Update noch mal versucht. Wieder nichts! Diese Schrott App öffnet nicht einmal eine halbe Sekunde, dann fliegt man wieder raus.

**Developer response:** Sie hatten recht, und es tut mir leid. Das war ein echter Fehler: Die App ist beim Start abgestürzt, während sie den Zugriff auf Health angefragt hat. Behoben ist das in Version 10.3, die jetzt im App Store ist — die App startet damit wieder normal.

Falls es bei Ihnen weiterhin nicht läuft, melden Sie sich bitte über www.andreapiani.com, dann sehe ich mir das persönlich an.

### 2/5 — Lädt Kacheln oft nicht

*2026-06-24*

Oder extrem verzögert. Stattdessen sieht man dann nur AppleMaps. Und dann noch ein Abo? Nein danke.

**Developer response:** Berechtigte Kritik. Die Kacheln wurden über einen einzigen Server geladen — war der langsam, sah man nur die Basiskarte. Inzwischen verteilt die App die Anfragen auf mehrere Server und hält einen Cache auf dem Gerät, und ganze Regionen lassen sich für offline vorab herunterladen.

Zum Abo: Es ist optional und entfernt nur die Werbung. Alle Karten, Routen und Werkzeuge sind auch ohne Abo vollständig nutzbar.

— Andrea, OpenMaps

### 1/5 — Just no

*2025-11-17, version 6.16*

I worked with map software for years. Absolutely hate the app. Wants to track a lot more than map usage. Wants health metrics. What looks like a menu at the bottom is ads and more intrusive software. Touted to be a topical map app for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. Wanted to send me to Microsoft ads on my iPhone every time I tried to use the app. If there is a way to import a map I did not find it. I found the app to be the most annoying app I have ever tried.

### 2/5 — Lädt mit 30 Sekunden Verspätung die Karten

*2025-09-29*

Einige Karten sind überhaupt nicht abrufbar, man sieht nur grüne Flächen, die topographischen Karten laden dermaßen langsam, das liegt nicht an meinem Internet.

**Developer response:** Das lag nicht an Ihrem Internet — Sie hatten recht. Die Kartenkacheln liefen über einen einzelnen Server, und wenn der überlastet war, blieben grüne Flächen stehen.

Inzwischen verteilt die App die Anfragen auf mehrere Server, hält bereits geladene Bereiche im Cache und lässt ganze Regionen vorab für offline herunterladen. Dazu gibt es jetzt 6 topografische und nautische Kartenstile.

### 2/5 — Ads are way too intrusive

*2025-02-18, version 6.16*

Ads that randomly take up the full screen with full volume. Couldn’t even really check the app out because the ads were too many.

### 1/5 — Bare minimum for a map app

*2024-07-08, version 6.16*

It is the bare minimum for a map app and not worth the ads. Upon opening the app you are presented with 4 buttons and an ad. The buttons just have icons and no description. The 1st button doesn’t seem to do anything. The 2nd button opens a list of osm maps with no way of adding your own. 3rd brings the view to your location. And the 4th is a download for a completely different app. The ad sits under the buttons and I had a popup ad when I tapped the 1st button (maybe that’s all it did). That’s all this app can do.

### 1/5 — Moche et trop de pub

*2024-01-13*

Application inutile, bourrée de publicités pour pas grand chose... 

Passez votre chemin

**Developer response:** Critique méritée : il y avait beaucoup trop de publicité pour bien peu de fonctions.

L'application a été entièrement reconstruite depuis. Elle propose maintenant 6 styles de cartes topographiques et nautiques, le téléchargement de régions hors ligne, le tracé d'itinéraires avec distance et dénivelé en temps réel, l'import/export GPX et Garmin FIT, et la recherche de points d'intérêt. Plus aucune publicité sur les premiers lancements, et OpenMaps Pro les supprime toutes.

### 4/5 — Open maps

*2023-12-10, version 4.91.100*

I upgraded to pro for 3 bucks and the colors are fixed!
To get to Pro, I had to search the developers page, and slide to the right.

### 2/5 — Use to be the best!

*2023-12-10, version 4.91.100*

No maps at all now. I think the last update did it. 
The menu is almost completely dark. But, if I click around the 7th space down, a map does come up! I have to do this every time, though.
