I only skimmed.

I'm not joking about the Ordnance Survey bit. When I'm on walks, I often am in area with bugger all phone reception (common in the UK) and the quality of the maps means it really is as good.

It's why the lack of traffic upsets me so, because I'd love to use it in the car as my main maps for Android Auto, but without traffic, that's just doesn't work well enouhg.

It could download time based averages alongside the map date, not perfect but decent most of the time.

Really though this is an OSM wrapper so it would likely need to be integrated there

To be honest, even a static DB of recorded road speed using time of day, day of week, time of year, averages, would be a lot better than nothing. It would mean it knows you can't really go 60 down a bendy, narrow, stone wall lined, single lane, country road. Not and live anyway. So it would stop trying to use them all the time.

But hey, if there is internet, why not query it for the latest?

Oh for sure, and Organic Maps was a fork too. Open Source is awesome 🙂.

I reckon whoever that team member was introducing them all to CoMaps is probably familiar with the Fediverse, and may even be watching us now 👀

I wish I could use it over Google Maps but for my use case CoMaps is next to useless. The search function doesnt provide anything close to the right location and I only ever use maps for a quick glance at where I'm going.

I use it frequently and the search is flawed. I literally introduced the name of a bank letter by letter and it would not show any of the 10 bank agencies of that bank that were nearby. Instead of the bank it showed me a water deposit kilometers away. If I partially deleted words, it would show me all the bank instances in the whole country ranked by distance (the correct output).

I do not agree about the UX, it is good.

That might actually explain why it doesn't work that great for me... Good to know

Last I checked Organic Maps has the exact same UI... And the devs are great, hence the CoMaps team forking it.

Used that too. It had the exact same UI with the same problems.

A gamified version where you solve tasks. I use it all the time. Android only afaik.

And I'm sitting here having never moved from OSMand+...

I use Atlas.

It's sitting on my table.
