What people like

Downloaded regional maps work completely offline, including hiking and cycling routes, contour lines and points of interest – handy in areas with no signal. Deep customisation lets you toggle exactly which map layers and details you see.

Worth knowing

The interface is dense with menus and settings compared to Google Maps' single search box, and live traffic data is thinner outside busy Western European routes.

Why does it score 100?

Legal jurisdiction
EU member-state HQ
Why this score?

Incorporated in Amsterdam, Netherlands – a full EU member state.

30/30
Ownership & control
Independent ownership
Why this score?

Independently owned by OsmAnd B.V., with no outside investors or parent company.

25/25
Data sovereignty
Own infrastructure
Why this score?

OsmAnd runs its own infrastructure in the Netherlands, and offline maps mean most of your usage never touches a server at all.

30/30
Accountability & trust
Partially open source + GDPR
Why this score?

The core app is open source, but the paid App Store/Play Store build adds some proprietary features, so it's only partially open source overall.
