CoMaps shares core functionality with Organic Maps. It allows users to plan and navigate trips entirely offline. It’s entirely free to use, with no ads, and it collects no personal data. Additionally, its efficient design ensures minimal battery consumption, making it suitable for travelers seeking private, uninterrupted navigation.
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.
This is an excellent explanation. I’ve always wondered how it all worked, now I see the map data is separate from dynamic data.
Wish these mapping apps would explain that, so people would understand the apps are providing the updated/dynamic data with the map data coming from OSM.
