What OpenMapX supports, what is in development, and ideas for future work.
OpenMapX is experimental. Implementation does not mean every feature is enabled on the public instance or tested on every device. Priorities can change, and there are no release dates promised here. Follow the source repository for current development.
The feature guide describes capabilities, coverage, and dependencies.
Search and everyday journeys
Place search, nearby discovery, road and EV planning, public transport, and turn-by-turn guidance are in the project. Coverage depends on the providers and data enabled on each server.
Implemented
Offline maps and existing-route guidance
Download supported map areas and continue driving, motorcycle, cycling, or walking navigation started online. This does not provide new offline routing, rerouting, search, or live updates.
Implemented
Self-hosting and extensions
Configure services and integrations, prepare data, inspect coverage and freshness, and install extension bundles through the admin panel and CLI.
Implemented
Native iOS and Android apps
Native shell and release tooling are in development. Store distribution and real-device release validation are separate work; use the installable web app in the meantime.
In development
Mobile usability
Keep improving planning, navigation, and settings on small screens as people use the app and report problems.
Ongoing
These are possible directions, with no fixed scope, order, or delivery commitment.
Offline trip packs and place search
Bundle a trip with destination details and map coverage, add a local place index, and support queued contributions when connectivity returns.
Idea
EV planning around your stops
Account for meals, overnight stays, and other planned stops when choosing charging stops across a journey.
Idea
Recent activity and contribution status
Build on local recent searches with a view of recent places and journeys and the status of submitted reports.
Idea
Commute planning
Show useful journey options and current travel times for Home and Work when opening the app.
Idea
Community transit tracking
Rider-contributed live transit data needs further upstream and privacy clarification before it can be considered for implementation. This capability is not available.
Needs research
Restaurant reservations
Add links from restaurant details to supported table-reservation services.
