Navigation
Find your way with apps built on open map data. No tracking where you go, live, or work.
Navigation apps know more about us than almost any other tool we use daily - where we live, where we work, our routines, and everywhere we go. European navigation alternatives prioritize keeping this sensitive location data private and under your control.
EU-based and privacy-focused navigation apps offer reliable turn-by-turn directions, place search, and offline maps without the constant tracking and data harvesting found in mainstream alternatives. Many are built on OpenStreetMap, a community-driven mapping project that ensures map data remains open and independent from Big Tech.
