CoMaps
Cooperative community open-source fork of Organic Maps, an offline privacy-respecting not-for-profit OpenStreetMap GPS app for your phone.
What's not working?
Hey I wrote one of those. As a mad keen map nerd, I'm so chuffed about comaps!
why do they make it out to be this brand new project of theirs instead of just a fork of an existing one, feels kinda misleading and shady
It has the same annoying bug as openstreet in that when I search for places in my town they are all shown as if they are in the town on the other side of the river in the other province ! There does not seem to be any way to submit corrections.
The top 4 results in this screenshot are located in Gatineau.
It seems like some local, Canadian problem? I don't really understand what should show this here. Can you show with a map example what search founds and the result you actually want?
Have you contacted the local community about this? The osm Canada forum seems very active: https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/ca/95 You should ask/report about it here.
Other channels of local communities are listed here: https://openstreetmap.community/?map=45.37903%2C-75.97289&zoom=4.78
And Ottawa is in Ontario. It makes it hard to find places when they are listed with the wrong city.
Is OrganicMaps still being developed?
To my knowledge it's still being developed. The fork to CoMaps was based on some trust issues with the company developing Organic Maps. Some info here: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps
I know why it was forked I was asking whether the contributors all came along or split
Used for a several mile hiking trip, and it works flawlessly. Spreading the word as much as I can! ♥
Unclear on the crowdsourced features of there are any, like things in the road, police, etc?
It uses openstreetmap for the map data
Where are these reviews? Does F-Droid do reviews now?
