How this works

SupportNear is a free map of free help in 1221 cities across 166 countries, in 13 languages. No account, no cookies, no cost. Places come from OpenStreetMap; if one has closed, you can mark it from its card and everyone sees it. It keeps working with no connection once you have opened it, and you can download a whole city.
