    I switched from Google Maps to Organic Maps after trying a bunch of alternatives, didn't know about CoMaps then; but since I learned this is a fork of my favourite big tech alternative i've been postponing installing this. Seems like there are a lot of people positive about it here, so couldn't postpone any longer. It's installing as we speak.

    I've recently gone back to using osmand~. CoMaps doesn't support GPX navigation (can only display the track), which is really important for preplanned cycle tours. And I don't drive enough with a car to gauge the navigation there.

    Still a great project, it just doesn't fit my personal needs at all.

      Strange, absolutely can't get F-Droid to show CoMaps, even with direct links πŸ˜”


      Search results in F-Droid

      Does F-Droid restrict access to apps based on geolocation? In Scandinavia πŸ€”

          Other open source projects or so called β€œfreedom advocates”, take note!

              I know I'll probably get a serve for this, bit I use HERE WeGo maps. I know it's proprietary, I know it still tracks data. But it's not Google, and I always use offline maps and navigation. I just can't get behind the ugly UI of OSM, Organic/CoMaps etc.

              I'm on GrapheneOS so I can setup scopes for network access if it needs permissions β€” it works without network permission, I just enable it to update maps periodically. It also works with android auto.

              Of course, if you're comfortable with OSM or CoMaps UI then that's the better choice. I'm just sharing my experience.

                Did you check tethering under settings>unwanted properties (ot something like that)?

                  It's currently hit by the "tethered network services" anti feature, which is hidden by default.

                  They are working on removing the anti feature

                    Which one can completely ignore since Mastodon covers that format and is higher on the list. Besides Bluesky is open-source and has third-party apps.

                      Thanks! Tethered was off, didn't help allowing it at first. Ended up deleting all app data for F-Droid, waiting for app list to refresh, and now I see it πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘
