Not seeing it in FDroid, and I have about 30 repositories setup.
Nevermind, resolved.

i hope they update osm data more frequently than ogm. i've made changes on osm and they're still no in organic maps :(
edit; THEY HAVE THE TWO ITEMS I ADDED <3
Interesting. We have an official comaps community on !CoMaps@sopuli.xyz that is linked on comaps page and one of the main devs posts there. Wonder if they made that user?
Hrm, does this allow for things like sharing speed traps or raid hazards like items in the road?
That's a pretty big reason why I haven't moved off of Google maps (despite trying to degoogle the rest of my life).
Magic earth does that.

Oh cool, just downloaded it. Looks like it'll do some congestion stuff too?
That it does. However, I haven't used it enough to make any statements about its accuracy.
What is or will be different to organic maps, besides the governing? I have organic maps on my phone and I do not see a reason to switch for now.
Didn't organic maps change to comaps ?
Nice and simple. But in public transport it says "U-Bahn (metro) not yet available in this region" (Zurich). Guess that's future content.
This looks identical to Organic Maps ?
Do we think traffic data will ever be available for a project like this one? Or maybe it already is and I just don't know.
Traffic data kind of requires driver tracking data to be sent to the cloud, which usually goes against the philosophy of projects like this. Unless they're obtaining it from a third party, I doubt it'll be a feature they implement.
I think it would be fine if it were opt-in, but then you wouldn't get enough data to get accurate traffic estimates
OsmAnd seems to do this.
They predict traffic patterns based on random UUID. I don't know how it works but it seems to be default on.
For me Tracks appears ruptured, any fix for that?

I use Osmand, how does this compare?
For me its much simpler to use and more straight forward. That being said, I feel like osmand allows you to be much more precise when selecting a route. But I havnt really used osmand that much
Best there is! I was using OrganicMaps and now CoMaps. Such a good seemingly genuine piece of software.
Thank you, it seems really nice.
Edit: I'm on a camping trip and I was mad because the app wasn't able to find my next stop. Turns out that I downloaded the wrong map because I suck at local geography.
Has there been any progress on the actual map data? Last time I tried Organic Maps the places I wanted to go didn't come up in search, and when I planned a road trip with it it planned the trip hours longer than Google maps.
That sounds like an issue with the underlying OpenStreetMap data that is used by Organic Maps (and CoMaps, and OsmAnd, and others). Map quality depends on where you are in the world and who is contributing to the maps there. If data is incomplete around you, you could contribute to it (but easier said than done, I know).
I can't say why the route would be hours longer than Google maps, but I've noticed OsmAnd~ tends to overestimate drive time for me (I think it overestimates delay from traffic lights). Or it could just be that calculating routes on your phone doesn't always give results as good as calculating routes on Google's servers.
You could use Streetcomplete to fill in the missing data yourself.
Holy crap, this map is awesome. They have the grills, picnic tables, even all the ski lifts on the ski hill.
Don't care if the graphics look like they came from the 90s. I love the details
Switch operated with success. Export locations from OM, open kmz file with comaps, done.
I can't get it to work with Android Auto on GrapheneOS. Any pointers?
From where are you downloading the app? I've read that either F-Droid reject Android-Auto because of binary blobs, or Google have some way of blocking non-approved builds (not from the playstore) in the car.
Edit: there is another Android-Auto thread.
Thanks for your replies! I originally downloaded the app from F-droid, but based on yours and others' advice, I deleted and downloaded through Aurora instead. I also tried the "hidden settings" within Android Auto mentioned in the other thread, but that didn't work. I'll know more I suppose when I'm next in my truck.
Awesome! Downloading immediately, but does anyone know why it has such a jarring transition from zooming in out? There’s such a huge change in how much information I can see from just a tiny amount of zooming.


Will AndroidAuto work if installed from F-Droid or will I need to install the version from Google Play like Organic Maps?
It didnt for me. I installed Comaps from fdroid the other day, and it didnt come up on androidauto. I guess I could try installing it from the app store and see.
There's a setting hidden in Android Auto that let's you pick what apps to show. I think it's within the app's developer settings.
found it but was super limited. went into developer settings and enabled unknown sources but it didnt change the options. did some searches but cant find any way of really doing anything about it without rooting my phone. so meh.
I've tried liking co maps, but here wego works so much better, in the US..
