Its already better than Organic Maps. The latest update has this save built routes as tracks which is so good for doing long bike tours :)

Looks like it's some Organic Maps / Maps.me fork: https://www.comaps.app/news/2025-05-29/ITs-FOSS-NEWS--Organic-Maps-Forked-Over-Governance-Concerns-CoMaps-is-Born/

Is CoMaps going to merge commits from OM in the future? Or is the development completely parallel?

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

It does merge commits from OM at the moment.

Why can't I find it?

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's because it has antifeatures you have filtered out. I believe it was "tethered network services" that made comaps appear in search results

I still don't see it...
I can see it on the website, copy the link and when I open it on the phone it says app not found.

Is your local repository cache up to date? Pull down to update.

[–] drkt@scribe.disroot.org 11 points 7 months ago

That was it. Thank you :)

I have a problem with map downloads. On the 1st install, out of 6,1 failed, and on the last update, another map failed to download. It just gets stuck and goes really slow and won't complete, then finally fails after a while. I have to come back after some time to complete downloading.

Is there some kind of request limit 5hat throttles downloads?

Also could it please support Open tracks to view its maps. Sharing maps from Open tracks share menu is imported as bookmarks, which isn't optimal.

There should not be a download limit, but depending on where you are in the world, the mirror servers may behave differently. Regarding downloads, you can reach out on Telegram at t.me/CoMaps_EN or to support@comaps.app
