Release 2026.03.23 is now out in all channels. In addition to OpenStreetMap data from March 21, it includes support for more sports types, four more Wikipedia languages and more. Full details here: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2026.03.23-5
Tried importing my .json list of saved places from google takeout but can’t select the file to complete the import. On iOS. Wondering if this is possible? Maybe only works on android so far or something. Or maybe someone has a workaround
To allow all of our users to download offline maps reliably and quickly, we need servers in many different locations. Some of these servers are rented, thanks to the donations we get.
Did you know, if you are using @cartes_app@amicale.net as a web-based map on your phone, you can now also move your route planning from there right into CoMaps:
Release 2026.03.09 is out. It brings many improvements, including displaying the amounts charged for using facilities, displaying populations of cities and towns, and on Android support for Type 1 Combo EV chargers. See the full list of changes here: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2026.03.09-18
Together, Javi – a FOSS advocate and Linux hacker – and his partner Rebecca are bikepacking (and hacking) around the world. On our blog they talk about their adventure and how they use CoMaps to always find their way even in remote places, thanks to #openstreetmap-based offline maps!
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.
When using the Android app and trying to find a transit route between two places, I can only see the first letter of each train line service, and can’t see other commuting options. I can’t expand the bar at the bottom either.
Since 1999, February 21 is UNESCO’s International Mother Language Day, promoting multilingualism! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mother_Language_Day
For context I switched to Magic Earth a while back as it was the best Google Maps alternative to me, however with the recent switch to a Freemium model that also introduced a ton of bugs, I’m looking for other alternatives.
In OSM we put everything under amenity=cafe but in my country cafe are viewed as something different from teahouse or (tea stalls) which are mapped as amenity=cafe+cuisine=tea. And I cannot find a way to exclusively search for the POIs of the latter type
Beyond fresh #OpenstreetMap data, you can now search for æøå, disable the display of speed limits on Android, and when navigating in Apple Car Play or Android Auto, 3D buildings are disabled to improve legibility of the map.

For our social media posts, release notes etc. we often need CoMaps map screenshots. And to reflect our global community a bit better, we’d love to showcase locations that YOU think would make a great release/social media feature image.
If you’re looking for a map & navigation app on your Linux Desktop: You can now also find CoMaps on Flathub! https://flathub.org/apps/app.comaps.comaps
So I had to go to a notary office recently and wanted to find some near me on CoMaps… but it was very ineffective because it only found those that had “notary” in the name. There was no such category to be found.
Release 2026.01.24 is now out on all distribution channels! Beyond fresh OpenStreetMap data, it includes adding road outlines for better readability, renaming of the “Bookmarks & Tracks” to the clearer “Favorites” and many more updates: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2026.01.24-5
Are you coming to #FOSDEM in Brussels? Some of our CoMaps contributors will be there too! They are also in our free-form Matrix room at #CoMaps_EN_Cafe:matrix.org, if you want schedule to meet up!
The CoMaps team wishes everyone a great 2026, with many outdoor adventures and trips. As a small present, we have made a “map only"-update, so that you can start the year with fresh maps. Already out on F-Droid, Codeberg, Google Play and soon on iOS!
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates. 🎄 A heartfelt welcome to everyone who has been given the gift of open source maps by friends & family over the holidays.
When I use navigation on CoMaps, it shows speed limits, except that when I edit my area with OpenStreetMap, I realise that the limits are not entered in the database! But CoMaps still displays them.
So I was wondering where the application gets this data if it is not all taken from OpenStreetMap.

For several months now, there have been discussions and code additions related to this feature.
I think it’s really cool. CoMaps has only been around for a short time, but it’s already thinking about new and exciting features.
Release 2025.12.11 is now out on Google Play, F-Droid, and the iOS AppStore. Updates include adding & editing charging sockets for electrical vehicles in #openStreetMap and a UX refresh to Material 3 on Android.
Did you already find any Christmas trees in CoMaps? During the Christmas season, the app displays public Christmas trees that are mapped in #OpenStreetMap (in maps from version 2025.11.19 onwards).
I can see that my CoMaps does not route through houses’ yards. And, if the route either begins or ends at a yard, it does allow crossing there.
So, it is respecting some OSM tag. What tags are those that cause the routing to avoid residential yards?
Is It Really FOSS? is a website that reviews software that claims to be free & open source. This effort has unfortunately become necessary as projects increasingly start to “do the talk of open source”, without actually “doing the walk” – effectively misrepresenting themselves as FOSS when they aren’t.
Thanks to all of you, we have over 1,000 stars 🌠 on @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de, a mostly volunteer-driven code forge that shares our commitment to community & Free/Libre/Open Source Software. Their efforts make the way we develop CoMaps possible.
Rising through veils of mist and crowned with drifting smoke, this active volcano commands sweeping views of terraced valleys, tropical forests, and distant temples; its steep, ash-brushed slopes and ever-changing skies make it a breathtaking fusion of geological power and serene beauty.
Highlights
- Routing option to avoid steps
- Improved first map download experience
- Improved fields available in editor following type objects
- Android: Improved visibility and UI of instructions in navigation
- Map: Bus station specific icons
To calculate the “best” routes and more accurate arrival time estimates, #CoMaps assigns so-called penalties to pedestrian crossings or traffic calming features such as speed bumps.
If you go into “Location Services” by searching for it in your settings, and turn on “Network location” and “Geocoder”, and also turn on location service on CoMaps, it may help with CoMap accessing your current location.
Free/Libre & Open Source Software (FLOSS) empowers anyone to view, modify, and share the source code— no vendor lock‑in. It fuels collaboration, transparency, and innovation, letting communities build better, more secure tools together.
CoMaps is a community and lives across many platforms— as a community we help people by answering questions about CoMaps, sharing links to requests and status, and engage with people who post comments.
Has anyone else noticed CoMaps’ handling of touch events (on iOS, at least) being a bit janky? Sometimes it zooms when I want to scroll, or zooms out when I want to zoom in. Is this a known issue that a fix is planned for?
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.
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?
The average review rating in Google Play is 4.5 and App Store is 4.7. Reviews have a significant impact on the app, both in a positive and negative direction. If you are enjoying the app and would like to leave a 5-star review, that will help other people discover the app and help the project!
Highlights:
– Improvements to search: added abbreviations (st, ave) for many languages and aliases for many map features
– Improved layouts for right-to-left languages
CoMaps now has more than 7k subscribers across different social media platforms – today reaching 7,777. And the biggest growth is on open-source platforms:
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.
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.
When I first became aware of Organic Maps, the very first thing I noticed was that you cannot search for "Maccas" and get a sensible result back. At the time I gave up on it, thinking that although theoretically not complicated, it would be practically too difficult.
Good day CoMaps team, I’d like to start off by expressing my gratitude for you for maintaining such an amazing project after the drama between Organic Maps’ owners, and for keeping the iOS version despite it being problematic for open source projects. Truly, thank you.
After dozens of ideas and tons of iteration in the community, we’re down to the final 6 logo designs — and your vote will help decide which one becomes the official face of CoMaps.
I love OSM Navigators and I try to use them as often as possible. The main thing preventing me from using them exclusively is the way they handle public transport.
Currently, CoMaps only shows one possible connection, without any timetables or alternatives. I can't click on the banner showing the connection, I can't swipe to find more connections.
