CoMaps is a community, shaped by people who believe maps can be better: more private, more accessible, and more accurate.

People downloaded CoMaps in 118 countries – from mountains to coastlines, from rural backroads to bustling cities, people around the world are using CoMaps to navigate offline.

CoMaps is powered by OpenStreetMap — the map created by people, for people.

Thousands of local contributors around the world help keep it accurate, up-to-date, and truly community-driven. A mountain trail, a new road, or a hidden café - chances are it was added by someone who knows the area best.

CoMaps builds on this rich, open data to bring you offline navigation— maps that work anywhere.

Thank you to everyone contributing to OpenStreetMap — you make CoMaps possible!

How does an idea become a feature?

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.
