Just in time for the 2026 State of the Map Latin America conference that is kicking off tomorrow in Mexico City. If you're there: Say hi to our contributor Bastian, listen to his talk about CoMaps, and grab some stickers! 🇲🇽
We currently do not have plans to host more nodes ourselves, but i there are Canadian users or organizations that have spare bandwidth and at least ~300 GB of storage that a CoMaps CDN node could use, please get in touch!
The State of the Map Latin America conference is taking place 27-29 October in Mexico City. If you want to help participants to find their way around town, we will do one more map generation on the 25th, so there's still time to add to OpenStreetMap or review POI via Mangrove Reviews/MapComplete.
Our contributor Bastian will be there to give a talk about CoMaps and distribute some of our stickers. If you'd like to meet up, get in touch via our community channels: https://www.comaps.app/community/
Since a few days, we got our first CDN node in Latin America, provided and run by the amazing Undernet community in Uruguay. Thanks to them, users in the region will benefit from faster map downloads. For a start we are exploring how well it works with users based out of Uruguay, Argentina and Venezuela.
If you are interested and able to help your local area in a similar way, get in touch via the channels listed on our website!

sorry, usually we do but I missed it this time!
CoMaps release 2026.10.05 is now out via F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, Codeberg and on iOS via the AppStore.
New features on Android include links to add Mangrove reviews via MapComplete and for iOS the support for CarPlay Dashboard.
The Google Play release is still waiting for review as has unfortunately become custom with their approval process.
Improving it is already an open issue!
It's because before each download it checks that the map files you're trying to download are the latest - but we've fixed that superfluous toast / notice in the October release!
yes, we hope to do that a bit more regularly going forward!
Our latest maps with OpenStreetMap data from October 4 are now out. You can press "check for updates" in the app to see them and start downloading them.
currently the automatic download is not maps you haven't downloaded at all yet - but we hope to make an opt-in automatic map update check going forward!
we hope to do that!
There's a lot of work going on to improve public transport, but so far it's still work-in-progress: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/projects/36008
In reality there were two updates, with data from July 21st and July 28th, but those newer maps required having app version 2026.07.16 - so the Google Play folks needed to wait for Google to finish the app review before being able to access them!
oh, good catch! We'll let them know!
