right, so far the date of the already downloaded maps isn't displayed, but it's a good idea!

but then likely not on a stock/OEM Android, right?
As the F-Droid also describe this as a general issue for map/nav apps: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/work_items/2567

2026-05-16 15:11:16 GMT

that is unfortunately not enough for map/navigation apps which Google treats differently, see https://www.comaps.app/support/how-to-use-android-auto/

2026-05-16 13:44:07 GMT

- reply

or in Obtainium, or izzyondroid, or … 😆
But: Due to Google's policies, none of those alternatives have Android Auto integration (unfortunately!) - so for some folks Google Play is a better choice.

2026-05-16 13:19:33 GMT

For the folks who get CoMaps from the Google Play store: The review process took "a bit" longer this time around - but version 2026.05.06 is finally out.
Give the "Check for update" button in the map downloader a go to get the map files with OSM data from May 10!

As it's been a very busy year – full of new community members, new features, and more – we've written up a summary of all the things that have happened.
And to give all of you a small gift: If you press the *Check Updates* button in the 2026.05.06 version of CoMaps, you'll find some freshly updated maps that were quietly released for you yesterday!

yes and no: Until now you would first download a new app version, and then inside the app update the maps. But so far, you never would get newer maps without first updating the app (maybe you didn't notice because of having auto-app-updates enabled?)
From now on, you don't have to update the app version first, in regular intervals there'll be new maps available in-app!

2026-05-11 13:01:49 GMT

- reply

you won't have to update that often, you can keep the older maps.
But, we know that many of our users also use CoMaps for actively contributing to OpenStreetMap - and for them having fresher local maps helps making better contributions!

2026-05-11 12:05:48 GMT

Release 2026.05.06 is out on Codeberg, F-Droid, iOS, and soon on Google Play and brings a big new feature:
From this version onward, updating the map files of CoMaps is no longer tied to updating the app. Which means we can bring you fresh #openstreetMap based maps more often!

it always depends on the details, part of the reason for that is that unfortunately a part of their code (in particular for the generation of maps) is not actually openly available :/

Version 2026.04.07 is already out on Codeberg, F-Droid, iOS and Flatpak -and soon on Google Play too!

For our social media posts, release notes etc. we often need CoMaps map screenshots. And to reflect our global community a bit better, we'd love to showcase locations that YOU think would make a great release/social media feature image.
Send us a link (either to the place on https://OSM.org or via the CoMaps share function), and we'll try to feature those places in upcoming release notes, social media pages, etc!

thanks for the report! I feel like I have seen the same happening but can't easily reproduce it (neither on the last release nor on the current test build), most of the time it reopens the last view for me 🤔
I skimmed our issues and didn't find a report yet about it, in case you have the time & energy to make one! 🙏

2026-01-12 01:44:06 GMT

- reply

thanks for the patience and suggestions! Next time you update the app/maps, you could try only downloading a smaller set of maps and see if that helps with the search experience (just to get a data point on whether it makes a difference under real-world conditions!)

2026-01-11 23:35:10 GMT

- reply

it could potentially be too much/detailed data, leading to decreased search performance. I'm on top of my head not sure if phone speed is a factor too! But there's many search issues already reported, see: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/2288

2026-01-11 19:21:58 GMT

- reply

in principle this already works, by typing a whole address one can find it (eg this search was made when the map was centered on a small village in Argentina).
Having said that, we're aware that the search needs to get some love to work better, as depending on the amount of maps you've downloaded etc the experience can be not perfect!

Our latest version, 2026.01.08, is available in all release channels!
Updates include more visual refreshes on Android (moving to Material 3) and an expanded #OpenStreetMap editor.
The OSM editor now supports a number of POI types that require multiple tags, like adding statues, Buddhist temples, coffee vending machines, etc.

it does have an effect, on location accuracy & speed of finding location: https://developers.google.com/location-context/fused-location-provider

don't really quote me on that, but from what I understand it does look up things via Google's remote servers, purely based on the description the folks at GrapheneOS give: https://grapheneos.org/features#network-location

2026-01-06 02:21:52 GMT

Fused Location (and similar approaches) make use of non-GPS sources to triangulate location (think e.g. WiFi's around you). The main benefits are a) if you have limited visibility to satellites it can still place you more accurately and b) it shortens the time to get a location fix, which can be quite long if you don't have a recent location.

Is It Really FOSS? is a website that reviews software that claims to be free & open source. This effort has unfortunately become necessary as projects increasingly start to "do the talk of open source", without actually "doing the walk" – effectively misrepresenting themselves as FOSS when they aren't.
Which is why we're extra happy that our offline map & navigation app has now been added to the website, listing us as a green "Yes, it's open source" ✅

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!
