The new August release was delayed by an unexpected removal of Organic Maps from the Google Play Store. Luckily, the issue was resolved in one day. Thanks to everyone who supports us!
You can download and install Organic Maps from AppStore, Google Play, Huawei AppGallery, Obtainium or FDroid.
Note two important issues to be fixed soon:
- Add Place (Add Business) button is not shown when a building is selected (use a single tap instead of a long tap to select any random point on the map).
