We thank the open knowledge community—including OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, GeoNames, Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Who’s On First, OpenAddresses, Pelias, Valhalla, OpenRouteService, OpenMapTiles, and MapLibre—whose extraordinary work makes Mapcarta possible.
A heartfelt thank you to OpenFreeMap, Mapbox, and Stadia Maps for providing outstanding maps. We also thank Geocode Earth and Geoapify for their support.

Our Mission

At Mapcarta, our goal is to provide intuitive maps and insightful guides crafted from shared open knowledge—to foster curiosity, connection, and understanding.

Open, Independent, Sustainable

Mapcarta is built on open data and Creative Commons resources.
Your contributions to projects like OpenStreetMap and Wikidata directly improve Mapcarta and support open, sustainable mapping for all.

Reusing Map Images

You’re welcome to reuse images of Mapcarta’s standard maps for any purpose, provided you credit “Mapcarta and OpenFreeMap © OpenStreetMap and OpenMapTiles”. For terrain and traffic maps please credit “Mapcarta © OpenStreetMap and Mapbox”. Satellite maps aren’t available for reuse. Each photo in the photo map view has its own licensing terms. To obtain a map image, simply take a screenshot.

Mapcarta App

Mapcarta doesn’t offer a native mobile app. Instead, we recommend Organic Maps, an open-source, privacy-respecting OpenStreetMap app that even works offline.
