Description:
The open-source mobile app Organic
Maps is used by millions of people on both the Android and iOS
platforms. In addition to featuring offline maps (generated from
OpenStreetMap cartography) and
turn-by-turn navigation, it also promises its users greater privacy
than proprietary options. However, controversial decisions taken by the project's leaders, feelings of disenfranchisement among contributors, and
even accusations of embezzlement have precipitated a divide in the
community, leading to a new fork called CoMaps .
