Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases, and no user information is collected in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.
As a temporary workaround you can install the upcoming Google Play update from this link: cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/Organi…
This APK should work with Android Auto.

Your own App don't do anything of the above mentioned malicious capitalism and anti user friendly behavior. 😉

Of course you lose some visibility to potential new Users in the PlayStore from Google but do you want all those ones in the first place for an App with all the benefits for Privacy like yours?
