MapShifter reskins the real world with the moodiest, most iconic cartographies from your favorite games. Same streets. Same GPS. Whole different vibe.
Seven hand-crafted map styles, each one faithful to the look, feel, and typography of a different adventure. More dropping monthly.
Real routing. Real search. Real traffic. We just gave the cartography a little… personality.
Full routing with voice directions. The arrow changes too — ride a horse, a pixel minecart, or a beat-up sedan.
Restaurants, ATMs, secret saloons. Millions of places from OpenStreetMap, relabeled in the font of your chosen world.
Tap a dropdown, the whole city morphs in under a second. No loading screen, no re-centering, no lost route.
Download any city for offline use. Skins included. Great for hikes, subways, and dodging roaming charges abroad.
Home-screen widget shows a live skinned mini-map of wherever you are. Yes, it ruins everyone else's boring widgets.
We don't track your location, sell it, or log your trips. Search runs on-device when possible. Seriously.
No sign-up wall, no onboarding maze. Download, pick a skin, drive.
Free download from the App Store. No account required to start exploring.
Tap the dropdown at the top of the map. Browse the collection, preview in-place, commit when you're ready.
Search, route, pan, zoom. Everything Google Maps does. Just with more… fog of war energy.
"I accidentally spent 45 minutes just panning around my own neighborhood. This should not be as fun as it is."
"Took a road trip through the wasteland skin. My passenger was a radiated ghoul, apparently."
"Finally, a reason to open Maps that doesn't involve being late. The typography alone is worth the download."
Both. Real turn-by-turn routing, search, and offline maps — all powered by OpenStreetMap, MapLibre, and OSRM under the hood. The reskin is a cosmetic layer on top of a fully-functional maps engine.
No. MapShifter is an independent project, not affiliated with Rockstar, Mojang, CD Projekt, Bethesda, or any other studio. Each "skin" is our own original art and typography inspired by the visual language of popular game cartographies. Style tributes, not copies.
iOS 17 and later, on iPhone. There's also a companion Apple Watch app and a home-screen widget for iPhone.
We're heads-down on iOS for now to nail the experience. Android is on the roadmap but has no firm date yet. Follow along for updates.
No. We don't have an analytics SDK, we don't build user profiles, and we don't sell data — ever. Your location is used on-device to show you on the map and compute routes, and it's sent to OpenStreetMap-based search and routing services only when you actively use them. See the privacy policy for the full breakdown.
