Trekarta (former MapTrek) is designed for hiking, geocaching, off-roading, cycling, boating and all other outdoor activities. It uses offline maps, so you do not need to have internet connection.

Trekarta is developed as a hobby for personal use but is generously shared to public on as-is basis. Developers are welcome to contribute to the project. Specifically experts in OpenGL and PostGIS are much needed.

With it, you can easily import places and tracks from GPX and KML data formats or create waypoints in application and share them to others. It lets you write the track of your journey, even in the background, so you will never get lost and be able later see where you've been.

Trekarta is released as an open source Libre project under the GPL-3.0 License.

F-Droid is a free marketplace and application store for open-source apps. It contains numerous apps classified under several categories.

Many Android users have it on their devices, as it is the primary source for installing free, ads-free apps that do not contain any trackers, or share user's data with other services.

While F-Droid is a great app, it lacks many handful features, therefore, G-Droid comes in. G-Droid is based on the F-Droid application repository, so it has the same content, yet with different presentation and better search.
