New maps are out now, with OpenStreetMap data from September 6. Press check updates in the app to start downloading them!

How often does the app upload the changes? It seems to me that it doesn't do it instantly but rather after hours or days, grouping everything you modified together in a single changeset

Is there a way to make CoMaps on iOS find contacts’ addresses on search?

That is, if I enter “John Doe” in the search bar it should show John’s address as entered in my iPhone contacts.

I feel like this must be there but somehow I can’t find it.

Would you label a chiropractors off e as a clinic or a doctor?

**IM SO GLAD THIS QUESTION WAS SO OFFENSIVE Y'ALL **

By the total number of edits made, CoMaps was the 15th most used #OpenStreetMap editor in June.

At first glance, that might not sound like a lot, but: With that, we are the #1 OSM editor that is not mainly an editor but a fully fledged map & navigation app and also editor!

From the start we have said that we want CoMaps to be a good citizen of the larger OSM ecosystem and make sure that we and our users contribute back. And it looks like you're all making good on that!

I recently saw this community pop up on All and checked it out a bit, but was wondering why CoMaps?

I’ve seen other Open Street Map projects such as Organic Maps and OsmAnd. What sets this project apart from others?

Hoping someone here knows more about this or can point me in the right direction.

New maps are available - with #OpenStreetMap data from July 8.

Did you know: CoMaps is the new default map/navigation app in #CalyxOS! Since the 7.2.1.0 test build of May, CoMaps helps CalyxOS users get around!

Read more about the CalyxOS default apps here: https://calyxos.org/features/list/#bundled-apps

Searching comaps gets two top results looking the same. One is roughly 50mb and the other is in the 60s. The larger os Fdroid hosted and the other Izzyondroid.

What is the difference, which should I get?

Get them now :)

Are there any options to include eircodes in CoMaps or Open Street Maps?

Or is there a way for users to download and add them into it themselves?

In Ireland Eircodes are relatively new, being launched around 10 years ago, but only very recently many people, mainly businesses - only give out an eircode as I found out on a recent trip. When I entered the eircode into CoMaps it can't find anything, no option for 'route to' etc.

So what I have had to do at least three times while I was over there (only for two days) was look up g00gle maps online, and then copy the coordinates into CoMaps. I found that the easiest/fastest way, but I can only imagine if I had been there for longer - which I will be soon, - I would have a never ending pain in my neck having to do that every single time.

TIA.

EDIT - Would this be any good? https://github.com/hmleal/irish-eircode-dataset (I don't think there is anything there).

Venezuela was hit by two devastating earthquakes, affecting thousands. Our local contributor Anton is not just safe but supports rescue efforts. If you want to financially help, you can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/emergencia-venezuela-equipos-para-rescatistas-terremoto
