CoMaps is an offline navigator built on OpenStreetMap: no ads, no data collection, open source code and nonprofit management. It launched in May 2025 as a fork of Organic Maps, after some contributors raised concerns about governance and financial transparency in the original project. Since then it has developed as a community effort on Codeberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Release v2026.03.23-5, out today, doesn’t break new ground: it’s a regular update with a handful of concrete improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Map data is updated to March 21st. New Wikipedia articles in Czech, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian now appear for points of interest, speed limit handling is improved for certain road categories, and highway shields can now display longer names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Android, landscape navigation shows the route path more clearly, progress indicator animations are smoother, and schedules with multiple daily shifts are easier to read. On iOS, icons in point-of-interest info cards have been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most interesting addition for desktop users is likely AppImage build support. CoMaps has been available on Flathub since early this year, but AppImage extends Linux distribution options even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n
