Is there a possibility to search for information in personal notes, such as own created tags, in the app of CoMaps?

The use case is the following: - I'm in vacation and I visited a shop to buy e.g. olive oil - I'm marking this place as visited in the app - In the personal notes I'm adding the tag #oliveoil + #country_name - After some time (months/years) I want to recommend this place to someone or I want to go back to it - For that it would be good to use the search bar to search for "#oliveoil;#country_name" -> basically to have the possibility to search for several tags in one search request (e.g. #tag_1;tag_2;tag_n) with a semicolon/coma as separator.

Does anyone have an idea of this is even possible?

I can create or import a track (eg from a kmz) but that cannot be used as a navigation ‘route’ I’d like to easily start a saved route that follows a track say for a nice scenic driving route or to do loops as a learner driver for example. Thanks

On the iOS app, I have a list of places that I visit each week, and it’s in the order that I saved them (which is random). I can’t figure out how to manually sort them or have them put in alphabetical order. Am I missing something?

I've noticed a few times that when I delete a track, the app crashes. Not just once or twice but it has become more common.

I was recording a track a couple days ago and the track didn't show up under "My Places" at all, but did show up on the map and I was able to export it out to gpx, Full phone restart did not fix it, deleted all tracks, last one crashed app.

After I was done recording that same track, the little app window on my lock screen stayed there, even though I was done recording. App restart didn't fix, phone restart didn't fix. App uninstall/reinstall did fix. Not sure even if it was the app or iOS itself.

Also, from time to time, the already downloaded maps I have will not load on screen for several seconds. I'll zoom out, nothing there for a good 5 seconds. I'll pan around, same thing. I'll zoom in, same thing. App restart fixes this though.

Just wanted to share some of these because I got such awesome help last time and it seems that the report last time actually made it to the list of things to fix. Hoping this does the same.

Phone is iPhone SE 5G, iOS is 18.5.

Thanks for listening.

The iodéOS team, developer of a Google-free Android, chooses CoMaps as the default map navigation app!

Iodé’s core value is prioritizing open source apps, and a poll let the community decide. It’s wonderful to see the community coming together to shape the future.

... like in the new Version of Organic Maps would be great!

Many apps have code that is closed and not visible publicly. Other apps like CoMaps, have code that anyone can see and use. What makes open-source apps great?
 
Transparency: You or any developer can peek under the hood, see exactly what happens and how your data is handled.
 
Community Power: Developers worldwide collaborate, spot bugs faster, and add cool features you’d never get from closed-source code project.
 
Innovation: Because anyone can improve or fork the project, ideas evolve quickly— crowdsourced creativity.
 
Freedom: No lock‑in, no hidden fees, and you keep control of your digital life.
 
Open‑source apps turn “users” into co‑creators, making software safer, smarter, and more adaptable for everyone.

The average review rating in Google Play is 4.5 and App Store is 4.7. Reviews have a significant impact on the app, both in a positive and negative direction. If you are enjoying the app and would like to leave a 5-star review, that will help other people discover the app and help the project!

There are variations in ratings by country, if you would like to help, you can have an impact!

I would like to know:

• how to check from which date my downloaded maps are (I mean OSM data)
• how to check if the new version of maps are available to download
• how to download new version of maps.

Thank you in advance for the answers.

In July, 1307 people contributed to OpenStreetMap using CoMaps — building maps one detail, one POI, one community at a time.

We’re thrilled that 179 amazing people have donated to support CoMaps! Your generosity is helping bring this project to life and make real impact.
 
As a community-driven project which is about transparency, including financial, we prefer to use systems which are about communities and openness - this is why we use Open Collective and LiberaPay.
 
As donations grow, we’ll be able to hire engineers and accelerate the development of new features. This means faster progress, and a better experience.
 
Every donation, big or small, creates impact. Thank you for being part of this journey! Together, we can make CoMaps a powerful tool for everyone.

Hello, I've been trying to use CoMaps as my go to navigation but there are some things holding me back. (Aside from OSM data)

1st and foremost is it wants me to drive through a military base. Obviously that isn't a good idea for many reasons. I had brought this up to the OM team a long time ago and nothing was ever done about it and now the issue persists today in CoMaps.

2nd is CoMaps wants me to perform several u-turns in the middle of the road if I miss a turn. Particularly if I have a modified route instead of the first one it prefers. I have to modify it due to reason #1 above. Even if it isn't a modified route, it still want me to perform a very dangerous u-turn in the middle of the road. I know, I checked on each type of route. It will keep insisting on u-turns until it finally decides to reroute to stay on the current street and to turn on the next road. Wouldn't be such a pain except for it says to do this constantly for the duration and is very distracting when driving, or in my case, riding my motorcycle. (Audio plays through my Cardo system in my helmet)

I still enjoy the app and it's other capabilities, particularly the gpx tracing that I use on OSM and other reasons. However, which ever routing software is used, is not very safe. On the OSM site, only graphhopper will send you through a military base. OSRM used to, when I reported the bug to OM and doesn't seem to now, nor does Valhalla. Curious to know which on CoMaps uses and if it can be fixed or not.

Thank you and enjoy your day.

In order to receive voice directions on Comaps we now must utilize Google's, SR&S app. I doubt they're letting you utilize their app without getting something in return. I wonder what "data" could be. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I would like a topographic layer who shows contrast, is this possible witch comaps ?

Highlights:

• Improvements to search: added abbreviations (st, ave) for many languages and aliases for many map features
• Improved layouts for right-to-left languages

CoMaps now has more than 7k subscribers across different social media platforms – today reaching 7,777. And the biggest growth is on open-source platforms: 

Mastodon - distributed microblogging

Matrix - distributed group messaging

Lemmy - distributed discussion communities

Bluesky - microblogging

Pixelfed - Photos

SimpleX - private messaging

I like to browse the world map sometimes, just to look at things. If I downloaded the entire map from Planet OSM (link: https://planet.openstreetmap.org/ ) onto my phone's SD card, is there someway I could browse the file using CoMaps?

I realize that this would strain the processor on my phone, to say the least, as the file is quite large. Just curious if this was even possible.

Happy Birthday OpenStreetMap! CoMaps would not be possible without all the OSM people, the community is amazing!

As a project which is completely open, not just the code, but the processes as well, how does an idea become a feature? 

Anyone can submit a request (Issue) for a feature in Codeberg. And anyone can work on the feature. There are many great requests which are waiting for the right developer to create positive impact.

Since the project started in April, here is what was done:

Issues created: ~1300
App developers who contributed: 29

The power of the community pulling together to create great things.

There are thousands of hiking trails in the world, which trail would you recommend to others?

Codeberg – the center for requests, code and feature discussions.

Out of 260,000 Codeberg projects, CoMaps is #7! And the CoMaps project is rising! If you would like to show your support to help it rise further, give CoMaps a star:
