Very nice app. Going to give it a good spin.
What sets CoMaps apart is a fully transparent governance approach. All decisions about the app’s development are made publicly, with users and contributors having a voice in its future direction. This focus on community engagement aims to deliver value for its users rather than prioritize profit.
Did I miss something? How is Organic Maps possibly “prioritizing profit?”
Yep, sure enough I missed this:

I have no idea to what extent the allegations are justified, but if they are true, then yeah, a fork was necessary.
thx for adding the context
Hell yeah, this is cool. Anyone have experience using O Maps or CoMaps for day-to-day navigation? I’ve never thought of going FOSS for this sort of thing, I would love to give Google one less piece of my data.
It doesn’t have traffic data, which is probably the biggest disadvantage. The maps are user contributed, so the quality varies widely. Depending on where you are, it’ll be ridiculously detailed with individual bushes in a park, or it’s incorrect or outdated and you can’t find your destination. I usually use this or OSMand, but I still keep google maps on another profile as a backup.
There’s magic earth that does traffic and similar to waze but since no one uses it around me its more great
