The best general map for Cambodian accommodation pins, businesses, road orientation and saved places.

Pro tip: Download each region, save exact entrances and never follow an unverified shortcut off a marked road or path.

Organic Maps

A free offline OpenStreetMap backup for roads, paths and places when data coverage is weak.

Pro tip: Download Cambodia and test airplane mode, but treat rural paths as map data rather than proof of safety or access.

Download the regions you will visit, save the exact entrance for each accommodation and transport terminal, and keep important pins in a separate note. Organic Maps is a useful account-free offline backup based on OpenStreetMap. Neither app proves that a road, temple approach, rural track or forest path is currently open, public or safe. Cambodia contains landmines and unexploded ordnance, especially in remote and former conflict areas and near the Thailand border.

Stay on marked roads and paths, obey warning signs, and never follow a shortcut into uncleared ground. Current security advice also warns against travel near parts of the Thailand border, and all Cambodia-Thailand land crossings were closed at the time of this review. Check official advice again before any border or northwestern route. Map travel times are optimistic in heavy traffic, rain and on provincial roads.

Do not build a tight airport, boat or bus connection around the fastest estimate. Ask the accommodation or operator to confirm the entrance and route when a pin looks surprising. For Angkor, use the official ticket service for admission and a licensed guide or current site information for access rules. Download maps before entering a large temple complex, carry power and water, and do not treat an app's trail line as permission to enter a closed structure or restricted area.
