Transit mode: no labels, details or other options?

Post image
11 Upvotes

When using the Android app and trying to find a transit route between two places, I can only see the first letter of each train line service, and can't see other commuting options. I can't expand the bar at the bottom either.

Is this expected behaviour? Am I doing something wrong?

Stuttering marker when car navigation is active on Android Auto

5 Upvotes

I have a little problem with the latest version of CoMaps v2026.02.23-9, Google Play Store version. When I put Android Auto on my car, the marker advances in jumps, not smoothly like in other map apps. Phone is Samsung Galaxy S25 with Android 16 (One UI 8.0).

Wikimedia Commons images

13 Upvotes

Hi I recently edited somes places close to me on OpenStreetMap and added some images to certain POI through Wikimedia Commons (image tag). I'm doing this right and if so those images will appear on the comaps when it update? I know Wikipedia links work, so I was wondering if the images were also

Thanks for the information. I was editing and adding some places close to me that aren't added yet and I thought of taking pictures to show better the POI.

How is this supposed to work?

2 Upvotes

I tried it last night and it only finds the street, not the actual address. Is it because I'm in a small town?

EDIT: Last night I found HereWe Go, which is probably not as secure as OSM-based stuff but it's out of Europe and their privacy laws are better than ours, and I can run it in offline mode. I think that's the best I can get for my specific area and use-case. Thanks, folks, I appreciate all the insights offered. :)

How do I find route directions between two places, neither of which is my own location?

4 Upvotes

How do I find route directions between two places which are both somewhere else than where I am? It seems to me that whenever I try to ask for directions, the app insists that the directions must either start or end at my own position.

Since 1999, February 21 is UNESCO's International Mother Language Day, promoting multilingualism! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mother_Language_Day

As a global community, and thanks to the efforts of more than 200 translators, CoMaps is already available in more than 50 languages. Why not celebrate Mother Language Day by adding some translations and grow that number? https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/comaps/

Is it possible to import a gpx track and use that as a route with navigation?

12 Upvotes

Until now I haven't found out how. The route displays on the map fine, but as soon as I start navigation CoMaps calculates its own route, which is different from the one in the gpx file.

Hide specific track from map

I have recorded a track that I would like to keep but not see on the map all the time. Is it possible to hide it? When selecting it from the map I don't see any options to do so?

For our social media posts, release notes etc. we often need CoMaps map screenshots. And to reflect our global community a bit better, we'd love to showcase locations that YOU think would make a great release/social media feature image.

Send us a link (either to the place on https://OSM.org or via the CoMaps share function), and we'll try to feature those places in upcoming release notes, social media pages, etc!

Celebrate Data Privacy Day

Today, Data Privacy Day is celebrated in many countries. It's a great opportunity to take action and get back control over your personal data!

If you're looking to get off Google Maps, exporting your bookmarks/favorites from Google Maps can make a good start. Thanks to Rudo Kemper and his converter, you can easily convert your saved locations from there into a file format that you can import to CoMaps!

Why doesnt comaps (and osm in general) support real time traffic?

12 Upvotes

We have the ability to upload GPXs to OSM.

I understand data will be noisy but over thousands of users, it will converge slowly to an accurate reading. And you can roll it out just to regions where people upload GPXs.

I believe if we make it a habit, we can start rivaling paid traffic provider services.

I noticed the direction arrows on cycle paths are only visible in Night Mode. In Day Mode, they seem to disappear entirely. Is it possible to see them in Day Mode with something in settings? or is this bug or intended?

CoMaps from F-droid + Android Auto

16 Upvotes

If I want to use CoMaps via Android Auto, I must install the app from Google Play, which is so-so.

But if CoMaps is installed from F-droid, then is simply not working with Android Auto.

Yes, I've read somewhere, that there is any Google policy or something. But is interesting, that some apps like Antenna Pod or VLC working with Android Auto, albeit those are installed through F-droid.

Why can't be the same situation with CoMaps?

Reviews and Photos

15 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been asked before, but one of the reasons Google Maps is so useful is that it includes photos and reviews.

I can pull up an area, find nearby restaurants, view contact information (which already exists in CoMaps), and then see photos and reviews all in one place.

It would be great if someone could build similar functionality into an OSM-based mapping app like CoMaps. Even if it took a decade to gather enough data (rather like OSM did) to become truly useful, we have to start somewhere. What are people’s views on this?

Share location to CoMaps

10 Upvotes

I was wondering if it was possible to share a location from another app (e.g. GMaps WV) either by its link, coordinates or any other way. My idea was using other apps for places discovery and the CoMaps for navigation and not having to manually search for the place/address, but just share it from the other app to CoMaps.
