īeside MAPS.ME app, the company develops offline travel guides GuideWithMe based on WikiVoyage data and MAPS.ME API. The team won a nine-week traineeship in the Silicon Valley, USA, as a prize. In 2012 MapsWithMe became first on Startup Monthly - startup competition in Vilnius, Lithuania. Small international company MapsWithMe with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and engineering office in Minsk, Belarus, was founded in 2010. Situation is made worse by MAPS.ME developers generally ignoring bug reports. Experienced contributors can edit the name tag directly by tapping Add a language and selecting the Native for each country option. This behaviour prevents inexperienced tourists from unwittingly overwriting native names, but of course places a bit of a workload on "normal mappers". The vast majority of contributions are language-specific (using name: instead of name), requiring correction by experienced contributors in order to show up on maps not specific to the language used (if the object previously had no name tag). It is not uncommon to see contributions that can only be assumed to be personal "bookmarks". For example, tourism=guest_house or tourism=attraction are quite often used as generic markers to tag anything that doesn't fit any predefined preset. This causes new mappers to use the wrong tags. Another problem is the limited selection of POI presets, with no ability to map anything which isn't predefined. For instance, the scope of the edits appears to be unclear for many users, and some assume they are editing their own personal map. Low-quality edits are made more likely by the app's design. MAPS.ME provides a low entry barrier for OSM editing, causing an influx of users unaware of rules, guidelines, and conventions (many of which, presumably, never visited this Wiki) and which in many cases aren't even aware that they are contributing to a crowdsourced mapping project separate from. Some users within the community have expressed concern regarding the quality of many MAPS.ME contributions. Questionable edits Main article: MAPS.ME/Questionable OSM Edits Recent track stores in gps_track.dat file. You need use "Recent track" option (app's settings – Map – Recent track) and set 1 day instead 1 hour. It also continued to focus on monetization with local guides, tourism and commerce which may be either useful features - or an obnoxious clutter. MAPS.ME requests much more permissions - such as contacts, biometric hardware and recording audio. However, as of version 12 many of the offending changes seem to have been undone, with MAPS.ME and Organic Maps' product appearing quite similar.
During this change the project was forked, with the fork named Organic Maps. the map style is completely different, there are no house numbers, no street names, no adding and editing POIs.
The new version 11.0.0 for iOS released in December 2020 changed the app significantly and removed what made this app interesting and worth using. The app uses a proprietary data compression method developed by the company’s engineers that ensures fast operation and low memory usage. The track will be removed automatically from the map after the time interval will expire (1 hour by default).
