Too 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…

recently downloaded before the update. With and without it so far I like everything

I think that they will be more upgraded and everything will be even better

Earlier quoted context omitted.

OsmAnd fits description perfectly, you can place bookmarks, no account required, maps from OSM, offline maps which can be used even without internet connection.

I use Guru Maps for that. It's neat & fast...

I don't use anything other than maps.me

Wow, it looks like the new marketing department is trying very hard to provide people false promises looking at the last comments in the thread which were posted by very new users (bots?). And same pattern repeats on many public web sites where similar news appeared and caused a lot of discussion. It would have been better if they put the effort into the app instead of that.
