CoMaps is by far one of the best offline navigation map app available.

They forked from Organic Maps project which seems to have gone evil.

CoMaps calculation is very fast, map update is constant, it is very lightweight, it has a very clean layout, usability is top tier. CoMaps can find places by the business name, there is still room for improvement but it works.

I was using EarthMagic before that, it was the perfect 10/10 opensource app until they went greedy, and the app now has tons of problems.

I went back to Sygic which is an awesome offline map app, I have a lifetime Premium licensing and as expected, now there is a Premium Plus license which some features were moved to like TTS and limited map update.

CoMaps also works really well with Android Auto and I am running GrapheneOS, it was actually somebody within GOS who recommended it to me.

CoMaps also display trains line, buses stops, public toilets, even motorcycle parking. If you are tired of dramas, give CoMaps a go.

CoMaps is available via Codeberg opensource alternative to GitHub and they are pretty active towards reporting issues.

What happened to Organic Maps?

[TheLNL]

The community forked and created comaps because the organic maps maintainers were unwilling to listen to the community, taking decisions that the community disapproved of.

Comaps seems to be more active than organic maps today

IsItReallyFOSS has recently summarized concerns about Organic Maps in regards of FOSS values, check isitreallyfoss.com/projects/organic-maps/

The same that happened with Ubiquiti, pfSense, Ubuntu and Earth Magic recently.

They all start "for the community", become too big, go greedy, and forget that projects/company is nothing without users.

They also made their map generator closed source
