CoMaps - Hike, Bike, DriveJul 21, 2025

CoMaps is powered by OpenStreetMap — the map created by people, for people.

Thousands of local contributors around the world help keep it accurate, up-to-date, and truly community-driven. A mountain trail, a new road, or a hidden café - chances are it was added by someone who knows the area best.

CoMaps builds on this rich, open data to bring you offline navigation— maps that work anywhere.

Thank you to everyone contributing to OpenStreetMap — you make CoMaps possible!

@fishidwardrobe @zm1 OMSand has a different approach. CoMaps is about a simple and easy interface.

@CoMaps @zm1 okay, well, so is Organic Maps. I don't mean to sound rude, but why do we need another? Why would I want to switch?

Organic Maps vs. CoMaps - feddit.org

Hi, can anyone explain what the fuzz about organic maps [https://organicmaps.app/] and the fork CoMaps [https://www.comaps.app/]is all about? I mean Organic Maps forked maps.me [http://maps.me] and CoMaps forked Organic Maps. What is the reason behind the last fork? I’m too old to keep track 😩 EDIT: https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-organic-maps-shareholders-a0bf770c [https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-organic-maps-shareholders-a0bf770c] Community contributors to Organic Maps have expressed serious concerns about the project’s governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community.

@zm1 Right now the biggest differences are how the projects are run - CoMaps is about transparency.

Since the split is recent, so far the CoMaps improvements are:

- More detailed/dense altitude contour lines for a number of regions
- Improved map colors
- Improved visibility of certain map objects
- Removed proprietary and remote control parts
- Android: automatic backups for favorites (bookmarks, tracks)
- Android: customizable button on Home Screen
- And many smaller updates
