Game Maps: GPS Route Navigator · App Store ID 1254908588 · Bundle ID com.yasarSoft.matematik · Developer: ikb soft (İkbal Yaşar) · Last updated 26 October 2026

Summary

Game Maps has no account, no advertising and no tracking across apps. Your location is used on your iPhone to draw the map, navigate and record trips. Your trips and favourites are stored only on your device and are never uploaded. To calculate routes and search for places, the app sends the necessary coordinates or search text to Mapbox (and, as a fallback for search, Apple). If you sign in to Game Center, only your scores and achievements are sent to Apple's Game Center. We do not sell or rent any data.

Location

Game Maps uses your precise location to show your position on the map, give turn-by-turn guidance, show speed limits and record trips (distance, time, top speed, turns). Location is processed on the device.

Background location is used only while a navigation mission or a trip recording is active, so guidance and recording continue when the screen is locked or you switch apps. iOS shows the blue location indicator while this happens. When the mission or recording ends, background location use stops.
You can choose "While Using the App", change precision or turn location off at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services › Game Maps. Without location, the map still works but navigation and trip recording do not.

Data the app uses

Data	Why	Leaves your device?
Trips and favourites	Trip history and statistics, saved places with custom icons, XP, levels, achievements and streaks.	No. Stored only on your iPhone (SwiftData). Never uploaded to us or anyone else.
Route requests	Calculating routes for navigation missions and re-routing.	Yes: the origin, destination (and any waypoint) coordinates and travel mode are sent to the Mapbox Directions API.
Search	Finding addresses and places.	Yes: the text you type and an approximate proximity point (to rank nearby results) are sent to the Mapbox Search API and, if needed as a fallback, to Apple Maps search.
Reverse geocoding	Showing an address for a point you long-press on the map and for trip start and end points.	Yes: those coordinates are sent to Mapbox.
Map display	Loading map tiles, styles and traffic.	The Mapbox SDK downloads map data and collects anonymous telemetry as described in Mapbox's privacy policy. You can opt out from the map's (i) attribution button › Telemetry.
Usage analytics	Understanding which features are used so we can improve the app.	Yes: anonymous usage events to Firebase Analytics (Google). These events do not include your location or search text.
Crash reports	Finding and fixing crashes.	Yes: crash logs and device/OS information to Firebase Crashlytics (Google).
App configuration	Remote settings such as the minimum supported version and update prompts.	The app fetches configuration from Firebase Remote Config, which uses an app-instance identifier.
Push notifications (optional)	Occasional news and campaign notifications, only if you allow notifications.	Yes: your push token, app version, language, country, device model, whether you have Pro and app preference tags are stored by Firebase Cloud Messaging and by our push service PushToAll (pushtoall.com) to send and target notifications.
Game Center (optional)	Leaderboards (weekly distance, all-time XP, missions completed) and achievements.	Only if you are signed in to Game Center: your scores and achievement progress are sent to Apple's Game Center under your Game Center player profile, under Apple's privacy policy. No location, routes, trips or search text are sent. Nothing else is shared, and we do not receive your Apple ID.
Purchases	Selling and validating Game Maps Pro subscriptions and the lifetime purchase.	Payments are processed by Apple (StoreKit). Purchase status is validated with Adapty (adapty.io) using an anonymous, app-generated profile ID and your purchase history. We never see your payment details.

What we do not do

No user accounts or contact list access. The only sign-in is Apple's optional Game Center, handled by iOS.
No advertising and no advertising identifiers; the app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites (no App Tracking Transparency prompt).
No sale, rental or sharing of personal data for marketing.
No uploading of your trips, routes history or favourites.

Mapbox telemetry can be turned off from the map's (i) button.
Game Center is optional; you can sign out in iOS Settings › Game Center, and manage or reset your Game Center data there.
You can delete individual trips and favourites in the app. Uninstalling Game Maps removes all data stored on your device.
