    What is Maps.me?

    Maps.me provides offline maps, search and navigation using OpenStreetMap data. Download the areas you need in advance, then use them without mobile data.

    Why use it when travelling

    An offline map helps after arrival, in rural areas or when connectivity fails. GPS can locate you without data, but needs a suitable view of the sky. Map completeness varies by location, so a suggested route is not a guarantee of safe passage.

    How it works

    1. Install Maps.me from your phone's app store.
    2. Download all required regions over Wi-Fi.
    3. Save your accommodation, stations and other destinations.
    4. Allow location access and test search and routing without internet.
    5. Check map updates and storage space before your next trip.

    Who it is best for

    • Travellers with unreliable connectivity needing a downloaded backup.
    • Walkers and cyclists using local OpenStreetMap details.
    • People saving mobile data who do not want every map detail loaded online.
    • Use an appropriate local app for live traffic and current transit timetables.

    Tips for using it

    • Test downloaded maps before losing signal.
    • Map sizes vary by region; leave spare storage space.
    • In the mountains, compare routes with signs, weather and closures.
    • For a free, open source alternative without ads, compare Organic Maps.

    Pricing and things to check

    Downloading is free, but the app store lists in-app purchases. Check free features and any paid options for your version and region. Maps.me is not a replacement for live traffic services.

    My verdict

    Maps.me is a useful backup when connectivity fails. Check what your version includes for free and test an offline route before departure. For an open, ad-free alternative, compare Organic Maps.
