What is Guru Maps?
Guru Maps is a travel and navigation app for Mac focused on offline maps, route planning, and GPS data management. It helps users search for places without a constant internet connection, download regional maps for offline use, and get turn-by-turn directions for driving, walking, cycling, and other route types. The app also supports trip recording, saved places, and collections for organizing routes, markers, and personal map data. Users can import and export common GPS and mapping formats such as GPX, KML, KMZ, TCX, GeoJSON, MBTiles, and SQLiteDB, which makes it useful for travelers, hikers, cyclists, and outdoor users who work with map files. Guru Maps is published by Bodunov and is available across Apple platforms, with Mac support documented in its official manual.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Guru Maps is a legitimate mapping and navigation app. Access to location data is normal for offline maps, route guidance, trip recording, and place search. If you use imported GPS files or saved collections, removing the app can also remove local map downloads and personal navigation data unless you export or back it up first.
Recommendation: Keep Guru Maps if you use it for offline navigation, travel planning, hiking, cycling, or GPS file work on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use the app, but export important routes, markers, and recorded trips first if you want to keep that data.
