Please make edits directly with our open data sources. Your changes should appear on Mapcarta in a few weeks.

Thanks to all of the contributors to OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, GeoNames, Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Who's On First, OpenAddresses, Pelias, Valhalla, OpenRouteService, OpenMapTiles and MapLibre. Thanks to Mapbox for providing amazing maps. Thanks as well to Geocode Earth and Geoapify.

Mapcarta's purpose is to help you find any place, and get a map, directions and a guide, using open knowledge. Our goal is to help advance a future where maps and places data are open.

Maps and information about places should be open. Yet the data you share with big tech monopolies becomes their private property, a donation to billionaires. Mapcarta is based on open knowledge, including open data and Creative Commons information. The knowledge you contribute to our sources such as OpenStreetMap and Wikidata is shared freely with everyone.

Mapcarta is a 100% independent and self-sustainable project.

Yes you may reuse images of Mapcarta road and terrain maps for any purpose, after all Mapcarta is an open map. Per the terms of OpenStreetMap you should include the text "© OpenStreetMap, Mapbox and Mapcarta" on or next to the map. For the photo map view, each photograph also has its own terms. Sorry satellite maps can't be reused. You can get a map image either by taking a screenshot, or by tapping on the "i" icon on the bottom left of the map followed by the "Map image" link.

Mapcarta does not have a native mobile app. We recommend the excellent OpenStreetMap app Organic Maps. It's free, open source and private, and it even works offline.
