- Builds Boost headers and generates localizations
- Compiles arm64 debug APK with freedom unit branding
- Uploads APK as workflow artifact

🇺🇸 Freedom Maps 🇺🇸

Freedom Maps is an American-themed fork of Organic Maps — the privacy-first, open-source offline maps & GPS app. All credit for the actual maps app goes to the amazing Organic Maps team and its contributors.

This fork adds patriotic flair: red, white, and blue branding, freedom units (fu) instead of boring old miles, and the removal of the metric system from display (communist). It's a joke. A beautiful, freedom-loving joke.

The real app: Organic Maps is created and maintained by the MapsWithMe (MAPS.ME) founders, developed with love by the open-source community. Powered by OpenStreetMap data. Installed by over 6 million users worldwide.

Features

Built on Organic Maps' excellent foundation:

  • Detailed offline maps with places that don't exist on other maps
  • Cycling routes, hiking trails, and walking paths
  • Contour lines, elevation profiles, peaks, and slopes
  • Turn-by-turn walking, cycling, and car navigation with voice guidance
  • Subway maps and public transport routes
  • Fast offline search on the map
  • Bookmarks and tracks import and export in KML, KMZ, GPX, GeoJSON formats
  • Dark Mode to protect your eyes
  • Free and open-source

Freedom Enhancements

  • 🇺🇸 Red, white, and blue app icon
  • 🦅 Freedom units (fu) instead of miles
  • 🦅 fuh (freedom units per hour) instead of mph
  • 🦅 Metric system renamed to "kilometers (communist)"
  • 🦅 Default measurement system: Imperial (freedom)

Why Freedom?

Freedom Maps is pure and organic, made with love:

  • Respects your privacy
  • Saves your battery
  • No unexpected mobile data charges
  • Offline and fast
  • Open-source alternative to Google Maps, Apple Maps, and MAPS.ME

Freedom Maps inherits Organic Maps' commitment to privacy:

  • No ads (communist)
  • No tracking (communist)
  • No data collection (communist)
  • No phoning home (communist)
  • No annoying registration (communist)
  • No mandatory tutorials (communist)
  • No noisy email spam (communist)
  • No push notifications (communist)
  • No crapware (communist)
  • No communism of any kind

At Freedom Maps, we believe that privacy is a fundamental human right — and so is the right to measure things in freedom units.

Give Freedom Maps a try!

Who is paying for the development?

Nobody is paying for this fork — it's a weekend gag project by Chris Rueber.

The real app — Organic Maps — is free for everyone and relies on donations. Please donate at organicmaps.app/donate to support the actual project!

Freedom Maps is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by the Organic Maps project. All the hard work is theirs. This is just a silly reskin.
