About this app

Thank you for using Mapinr. The ever faster life cycles of Android versions make it difficult for non-profit projects to survive. Nevertheless, we will keep this project alive and follow our vision to provide a secure, privacy-friendly and affordable app.

We recognise that G requires a minimum Android version, which many devices do not support. We offer downloads for previous Android versions (below Android 14), that are not supported by the Play Store anymore, on our website.


Do you want to view and manage your own points of interest? Are you searching for an app to put your pictures on a map?

Ratings and reviews

Completely inscrutable and over-complicated user interface. All I wanted was a simple app to record my walks and drives as KML or gpx files for later analysis. I even made a donation to unlock that capability. But I couldn't get it to work. It keeps saying ”not enough points to save the file” when i try to save, but it creates some files (which are probably empty). Uninstalling

This is a very useful app for anyone that needs to create custom map, with markers, shapes and photos. With that said, there are a few problems. First I can't really hold against the dev, but there are some major functionality issues with Android Q (Beta v3). -The camera fails to launch completely. I have tried several camera apps, they all fail. -The share feature fails completely, I can not share the KMZ to anything right now. Only work around seems to be to save the KMZ locally first, then use a file explorer to share the file. The second problem should be a pretty easy fix. The crosshair works well if the map is in street mode, but is basically invisible if you use the satellite mode. An option to change the crosshair from black to white or better still red, would solve this issue.

After changing the phone (owing pixel 6a now) I can't download offline maps any more. You click on a map, the loader shows progress briefly and then stops and nothing happens. The best feature of this app for me was possibility to have maps offline for hiking in areas not covered by mobile data. Please fix this and I'll update my review back to 5 stars because otherwise it's a great app!
