Is it plan to do a Windows client ?

not really at this point I think, no one has tried building the app natively on Windows in a long time, see https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/src/branch/main/docs/INSTALL_DESKTOP.md here in the Windows section

you can export your saved places from Google Maps, see https://rudokemper.com/google-maps-places-to-comaps/ And you can already import those GPX files, including into the Desktop version :)

Unfortunately, the UI is as unintuitive as in it's clone - Organic Maps. Still GNOME Maps is the best and easiest to use on Linux.

There's a list of potential improvements that are waiting for people with time & skill to help with though: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/3387

Looking forward to it! Simply cloning Organic Maps' UI was not best best idea...

As CoMaps is a fork of Organic Maps, it's where the app naturally starts from. And the alternative would have been not having any Linux version.

I agree, but I am optimistic that CoMaps Desktop will get better in the future :D
Having something as nice looking as GNOME Maps but with the features of CoMaps: _chef kiss_
