For those of you having trouble getting this on F-Droid, @mp3@piefed.ca says: “Go to Settings > Include Anti-Features and enable Tethered Network Services for it to show up.”
Can you use this “co-maps” with a selfhosted osmand instance and not require any network tethered service?
Or just use droid-ify
What’s better about it compared to Organic Maps? I clicked on some of the links, but it didn’t say.
better search, FOR SURE. search actually shows stuff in my area and not some random place in the middle of nowhere on the first items
@TheLeadenSea @zdhzm2pgp it seems to be more community managed, more transparency.

This is the first I’m hearing of the CoMaps fork of Organic Maps so here’s the FAQs for others wondering, like me
Currently using OSMAnd… Working great for me but always open to something that offers a benefit I don’t currently have…
How does CoMaps differ from above?
OSMAnd works with Android Auto to display on my in-car screen… Does CoMaps??
I think it’s a brand new organic maps fork
If you’re happy with osmand there’s no point to switching IMHO. It’s a much more simplified interface, so customization especially compared to the enormous options in osmand are relatively limited.
That being said it does work just as well, judging from the little use I’ve had.
Osmand doesn’t seem to be able to pull up addresses. It’s pretty useless without that function. Why I switched to Organic.
i use this and address search is much better: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation
Pretty sad that that’s necessary. I’m good with CoMaps, thanks.
It would be nice if they implemented some sort of backup to self-hosted nextcloud.
I’ve lost a lot of bookmarks due to corruption or bookmarks being duplicated on organic and it’s predecessors. I bookmark all sort of things in my travels. So, a better backup system would be a deciding factor for me, at least.
I appreciate CoMaps but for now they don’t differ in functionalities at all. Will consider switching in case Organic really enshittifies
truth be told, the former branding was much better. It’s unfortunate that they needed to resort to have a fork
Branding is still an ongoing project. They are just deciding about the logo. So there will be changes.
It’s more about the name for me
I think that was also a vote. Honestly organic maps is kinda stupid too.
For a first release, it already comes with a bunch of changes. How many people moved to the fork, is it all of the devs there now?
When I click this link Fdroid says “no such app found”, and it doesnt appear when I search. What gives?
Fdroid official app is still outdae to me. Repo doesn’t automatically update itself and so on. I shifted to Droid-ify. Try that
I had to enable the Tethered Network Services anti-feature in F-Droid for CoMaps to show up.
Any idea why that’s needed when Organic Maps doesn’t?
My understanding is this is an early fork?
It’s on there too.
I’m guessing, but this anti-feature was added about a year ago, maybe you already had the app?
Ah. That makes sense, then. Thanks!
assuming you tried to update the repos, your repo mirror might be outdated
Can’t seeinf it on fdroid 1.22.0, web link seems working though
