Native Land is a resource and app for learning about Indigenous territories, languages, lands, and ways of life, and for mapping Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages. It also states that its maps are not official sources. The site notes it provides geoJSONs and an API for free.
CoMaps is a navigation app and community-led fork of Organic Maps, maintained in a Codeberg code repository. The repository hosts the app's main source code and lists offline map navigation and routing among its topics. The project is described as noncommercial and nonprofit.
An interactive world map of light pollution that overlays data including NASA Black Marble VIIRS, sky brightness, aurora prediction, observatories and clouds, with SQM/SQC measurements contributed by users. It offers tools such as distance measurement, sky brightness simulation and a search for the closest dark site.
Hong Kong Transit 3D is an independent project presenting a real-time 3D schedule simulation of Hong Kong's trains, trams, buses, and ferries over real terrain. Vehicles move according to published frequencies and the Hong Kong clock, not GPS tracking. The map includes depth-true tunnels, a per-line underground cross-section view, and trilingual support.
Sounds of the Forest is a project collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from around the world into a growing soundmap. The collected sounds form an open source library that anyone can listen to and create from. The project was created by Wild Rumpus and is built on Mapbox GL JS.
Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC) is an open source GPL program that creates offline atlases for GPS handhelds and cell phone applications from online map sources such as OpenStreetMap-based maps. It is written in Java and runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
