July 14 maps are bundled with the above 2026.07.16-10 release.

Please update the app first to get the new maps, older app releases won't be able to update to these July 14 or any later maps as these new maps contain incompatible changes.

By the total number of edits made, CoMaps was the 15th most used OpenStreetMap editor in June.

At first glance, that might not sound like a lot, but: With that, we are the #1 OSM editor that is not mainly an editor but a fully fledged map & navigation app and also editor!

From the start we have said that we want CoMaps to be a good citizen of the larger OSM ecosystem and make sure that we and our users contribute back. And it looks like you’re all making good on that!

New maps with OpenStreetMap data from July 21st data are out. Press "check for updates" in the map download screen to see them!
