CoMaps - Hike, Bike, DriveMar 1

Since the #39c3 in December, every first Sunday of the month has been a "Digital Independence Day" for trying out alternatives to dominant/big tech platforms.

If you're looking to explore alternatives to Google or Apple Maps, why not give CoMaps – or any of the other open source map-applications that are based on data from #OpenStreetMap – a try!

You can learn more about the #DIDay here: https://edri.org/our-work/didit-edri-members-spark-movement-for-alternatives-to-big-tech/

@CoMaps Where are the servers? In Europe or in USA?

Shouldn't really matter as you just download the maps once and routing is done locally on your phone

@t3tr4 @nylirotu The download servers for the maps are distributed over different countries as a CDN - but you can pick one if you want to avoid particular countries - or even self-host the map files if you want to distribute them locally
