Proton Maps
A web and mobile maps-like application based on the free OpenStreetMap data. The app allows to privately search for locations, save favorite locations, get directions, and possibly share the users' location for a limited time with other Proton users. Moreover, users can create custom maps with custom paths or GPS points.

With Google renaming the Gulf of Mexico, this is becoming important.

Partnering with (or providing an overlay for) one of the privacy focussed mapping/navigation apps (such as those mentioned in an upcoming update to privacyguides.net as seen here: https://pr2827.unreviewed.privacyguides.dev/en/maps/) might be a quicker and easier solution to this request, as creating a new mapping/navigation app is a huge undertaking, especially when Proton has many other priorities. Great idea though!

Proton Maps would be incredible if they also allow for rating and reviewing businesses. If it's kept on top of as well as Google Maps is, it has the potential to be the biggest competitor to both Google and Apple maps. I'm a big fan of this idea and I think it's almost a necessity to have on the roadmap! (No pun intended :p)

It would be great if Proton develops a map app based on OpenStreetMap data. The app should have a minimalist design like Apple Maps, with usable public transport data like Google Maps.

Would love this. I'm currently a contributor to Google Maps from the editing feature, and I add missing roads and update the map as often as I can. Would love for Proton to make a maps application, with an editing feature, where anyone edit the map.

I'd really like a good real-time traffic info like in Waze.

a good private map app with usefull public transport data would be awesome. I mostly use apple maps, because all other alternatives that are more privacy respecitng are terrible at providing public transport data, at least in germany (and I don't even live in a small city). but maybe I want to switch to GOS or another privacy respecting mobile OS in the future, and I honestly haven't found a good alternative

Similarly to Standard Notes or Simple Login, it would be really nice if Proton joined forces with a privacy-friendly map service (for example, organic maps)

It would be nice to have something to replace Google Map, it would function like Google Map but your data would only be accessible to you not to Proton or any third party

Complimentary to this idea: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/47687138-map-viewer-for-existing-geo-location-data-in-files
Having a google mymaps option with Proton would be great. The ability to create layers and add geometry (points, lines, and polygons) manually or from existing files on Proton Drive.
The ability to search for and save locations, save maps, share maps. I do like the idea of getting directions to then convert the route to a saved geometry.
I could see the 'photos' component of Proton Drive being built out to include a map component in a photo album. Or, attaching photos to points on a map.
A stand-alone maps application like google/apple maps would be amazing.

Good idea, but in the meantime there is Qwant Maps if you want ☺️
