Hi! Which are the main differences on having this setting on or off? Its named differently than in Organic Maps, whats the difference there?

PD: Just wanted to say thanks! I admire this project's commitment to FOSS, privacy, transparency, and community principles!

IzzyOnDroid – an Android store for Free & Open Source Software. The apps are free (as in „free beer“ and as in „free speech“) and Open Source.

Builds for IzzyOnDroid are directly from developers and signed by developers. This enables very fast publishing of new releases (whereas F-Droid re-builds all apps from the source).

There are several ways to install and update CoMaps via IzzyOnDroid, see here:

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/app.comaps

I would be nice to have somethings like a route bar while using on android auto.

Also a feature where it shows current and allowed speed would be nice. Even if no route is selected

Highlights:

· Improved routing accounting time for turns, traffic lights & stop signs etc, and conditional restrictions

· Improved dark map style, and added colored labels

· Building entrances easier to see on the map (displayed earlier)

· Standalone addresses can be added in the Editor

· Display when place's existence and opening hours were last checked

· Added animal shelters, wicket gates, ladder lines and generic non-specified barrier lines

· OpenStreetMap data as of August 22nd

· Android: New speed indicator, display track info

· iOS: CarPlay is available!

Maybe it's not surprising, but moving my saved places from Organic Maps to CoMaps took maybe two button clicks.

Export, select CoMaps, done.

Now to move my donation :)

CoMaps is available in 44 languages, and more on the way, thanks to the incredible community of translators! Your devotion makes the app truly accessible to people all around the world.

Together, we’re building a more inclusive map for everyone.

The iodéOS team, developer of a Google-free Android, chooses CoMaps as the default map navigation app!

https://iode.tech/iodeos/

Iodé’s core value is prioritizing open source apps, and a poll let the community decide. It’s wonderful to see the community coming together to shape the future.

Many apps have code that is closed and not visible publicly. Other apps like CoMaps, have code that anyone can see and use. What makes open-source apps great?

Transparency: You or any developer can peek under the hood, see exactly what happens and how your data is handled.

Community Power: Developers worldwide collaborate, spot bugs faster, and add cool features you’d never get from closed-source code project.

Innovation: Because anyone can improve or fork the project, ideas evolve quickly— crowdsourced creativity.

Freedom: No lock‑in, no hidden fees, and you keep control of your digital life.

“Users” can be co‑creators, making software safer, smarter, and more adaptable for everyone.

Hey everyone

So I’ve been working on my local area using CoMaps updating old locations, putting them in the right place ETC.

However I’ve had the problem of an issue being resolved not once but several times? I know it sounds weird but I fixed the location of a local post office easy it was down the road of where it should have been. I put it in the right place and it’s done I got the confirmation and checked and it’s corrected. However last night I got not one not two but 4 emails saying the issue was resolved my another user who said there was nothing mapped there which is correct as the issue was already resolved and moved. Was my report not closed on open maps after it was fixed? And why did I get a email 4 times? I’m not sure if this is a CoMaps or an open street maps issue.

Anyways if anyone knows what could be causing this please let me know

In July, 1307 people contributed to OpenStreetMap using CoMaps — building maps one detail, one POI, one community at a time.

We’re thrilled that 179 amazing people have donated to support CoMaps! This is helping bring this project to life and make real impact.

As a community-driven project which is about transparency, including financial, we prefer to use systems which are about communities and openness - this is why we use Open Collective and LiberaPay.

As donations grow, we’ll be able to hire engineers and accelerate the development of new features. This means faster progress, and a better experience.

Every donation, big or small, creates impact. Thank you for being part of this journey! Together, we can make CoMaps a powerful tool for everyone.

Happy Birthday OpenStreetMap! CoMaps would not be possible without all the OSM people, the community is amazing

As a project which is completely open, not just the code, but the processes as well, how does an idea become a feature?

Anyone can submit a request (Issue) for a feature in Codeberg. And anyone can work on the feature. There are many great requests which are waiting for the right developer to create positive impact.

Since the project started in April, here is what was done:

Issues created: ~1300 App developers who contributed: 29

The power of the community pulling together to create great things.

I added some data on local shops in OrganicMaps and StreetComplete. My changes are visible in OSM online but my (just downloaded) maps in CoMaps don't show them. I found this issue for OrganicMaps that says maps data is updated only when the whole app is updated and I assume CoMaps works the same.

Are there any structural reasons why this is the case? Or is there a possibility/plans to have maps data refresh more frequently?

can we have a 5th option to turn on/off night mode?

for now, we can choose between

• disable
• about & help
• add place to osm
• settings
• record track

Hi! I've tried many methods to get CoMaps to work with Android Auto running GrapheneOS, but I just can't get A.A. to even recognize CoMaps exists. I tried a secret and hidden Android Auto settings menu and I tried redownloading CoMaps from Aurora instead of the apk... both to no avail. Does anyone else have pointers? Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask!

There are thousands of hiking trails in the world, which trail would you recommend to others?

Codeberg – the center for requests, code and feature discussions.

One of the most exciting things about CoMaps is the amazing community behind it. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on some of the incredible people who are already contributing to the project.

· gedankenstuecke – helps with the website, German matrix/telegram room operator and planning for decision-making structure.

· Flummic – Designed the CoMaps logo and worked with the community to iterate branding with creativity.

· metehan – Runs Weblate, the translation system, and the operator of the Turkish chat.

· AlexeyNaumenko – a recruiter and tech enthusiast who believes in the power of open-source - published an article about CoMaps.

Their dedication and expertise are what makes CoMaps possible. We're always looking for more people to join us. If you're interested, get involved!
