Organic Maps fork CoMaps launches on major app stores for iOS and Android
CoMaps, a recently launched fork of the open source GPS navigation app Organic Maps, is now officially available on major app stores. Users can download CoMaps for iOS via the Apple App Store and for Android on the Google Play Store and F-Droid.
CoMaps shares core functionality with Organic Maps. It allows users to plan and navigate trips entirely offline. It's entirely free to use, with no ads, and it collects no personal data. Additionally, its efficient design ensures minimal battery consumption, making it suitable for travelers seeking private, uninterrupted navigation.
What sets CoMaps apart is a fully transparent governance approach. All decisions about the app's development are made publicly, with users and contributors having a voice in its future direction. This focus on community engagement aims to deliver value for its users rather than prioritize profit.


Comments
Do you recommend CoMaps over OrganicMaps exclusively for driving directions?
As the commentar above said, its the same.
Does this mean we could request it to display map points that Organic Maps doesn't even though it is recorded somewhere in OSM? I felt like some things were missing in Organic Maps.
If it's in OSM and been there a while but not in ComMaps you can certainly contact them to ask if they can display it, either use the codeberg page or the matrix server linked on their website. Maybe search codeberg first and look up the tag on the osm wiki to see if its tagged correctly. What type of thing was it?
