Will you also be releasing the iOS version?

#12There is already an open source fork at F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.github.axet.maps/ Note: This is not new. F-Droid maintains this open source version since serveral years.
This fork is in a poor state, barely working, needs some love

#13I was hesitant to use maps.me because it was Russian based. Dont know much about the company which bought it.

Re: Maps.me is gone, and we must bring it back
#15There is an existing f-droid version of Maps.me [1] and this looks like a separate effort. Despite having access to the source code, map hosting is a non-trivial problem [2].

#16I do not know if it's available on iOS (I suspect no) but on Android I am a really happy user of Osmand. It uses Openstreetmap as maps provider and I always use it when hiking. It gives you the altitude profile of your route which is very useful.

Installed OK, but errors-out trying to download the first map :(

#18I wish openstreetmap used elevation data for hiking.
Say I want to climb to a hill back, it should calculate distance w.r.t elevation.
Right now it assumes a straight line be it on a road or up and down a mountain.

I also use Osmand, though when I compared it to Maps.me, loading a map was significantly slower in Osmand

#20Too bad, maps.me was by far the best maps application for non city use, and ideal for hiking. Commendable initiative to bring it back in its original version! A few examples of why it was so great: Simple, non social bookmarks. As in: place a bookmark so you don't get lost while hiking, or when you find a nice spot you want to come back to later. Yep, a utility feature that doesn't somehow map to some stoopid busines…
Most of the hiking maps are simply not even on Google maps. Only in OSM
