F-Droid.

I think this app is a pretty essential app to anyone who want to leave Google Maps, so I am sharing it here for anyone who might need it.

Hm.. you made me check and indeed it needs connection, but I was more intrigued by the fact that you can't share a location from Google Maps if you're not connected - at least in my case, when offline and trying to share a location, the sharing sheet (or whatever it's called) doesn't show up at all.

That's one use case, but I get sent these locations from other users of gmaps and I need a way to easily open them with organic maps for instance. Not always easy, despite plus codes available to possibly solve this issue in many cases.

I know. I'm in the same situation myself.
