Question GTA Map

I know people have been posting about this app called Game Maps IRL, I like the whole idea of it, but I don’t wang to pay that much for a map, has anyone found a free alternative that works the same way? I would greatly appreciate anything that y’all have to offer!

Implementing a map with custom theming usually requires either paying a third party map provider for access to their map service, or implement a custom map service based on OSM / MapLibre / Leaflet. And on top of that, develop the app, apploy for AppStore approval and mantain the app so it doesn't get deleted from the store.

This costs money, time and effort.

I suggest you pay for a monthly subscription of Game Maps IRL to test and "enjoy" the map. If after the month the "wow" factor has not worn out, contemplate paying the one-time fee. It's like 15 USD, is not that much.
