Where has CoMaps taken you today?
Whether it's a quiet forest trail, a winding coastal road, or your favorite neighborhood café — we’d love to see it!
Share a screenshot of your route or a photo from the road.
Let’s build a map of adventures — one story at a time.
First time trying out CoMaps for navigation was getting a route from home to here via a couple of set waypoints so that I won't ride the same route I usually do. Worked great, me and my Vespa got to enjoy some new roads and sights 👍
I now have two folders for waypoints: Places for the actual places I go to, and Inbetweens to get the routes that I want.
I have found a bunch of restaurants listed in my area that Google Maps never shows. Just that might be enough to make me switch.
I have the opposite problem - so far it's failed to find a single place I searched up, either residential or commercial. I had the same problem with OrganicMaps too, so I think it's the OSM dataset. I'm happy to help, so I add the places once I find them in Google Maps, but I'd rather not need to keep switching back and forth!
You can add the places with CoMaps, so others may won't have the same experience as you. All places on OSM were added by other users, they don't appear automagically. It's a chicken egg problem, you can help break: restaurants don't put themself on osm because they don't know it exist, they don't know because few people use it, few people use it because restaurants aren't there.
Here you can read how you can add places with CoMaps: https://www.comaps.app/support/editing-with-CoMaps/
I've added a few local cafes and used comaps to find better bike routes to them :3
Hi Oleg, do you happen to know if there's any way to turn off the complaint pop-up when I don't have location on? I only turn it on when I need it, and it's frustrating to have to keep dismissing that message when I just what to see if there's a Mexican restaurant in the area or where a store is.
Maybe it’s happening every time the app loses the privilege, it’s possible that selecting Ask Me Every Time causes it to gain and then lose the privilege and resets the popup. Try unchecking it. For further assistance we can help at support@comaps.app
I have it set in the app permissions to "Allow only while using the app". My other options are "Ask every time" and "Don't allow".
Changing it to "Ask every time" and then immediately back to "Allow only while using the app" seems to have worked. It's not bothering me with the pop-up after the first time. I'll email if it comes back and I can reproduce it.
Thanks!

agreed! having the location icon slightly pulse as an alternative - or have the warning come up only when you plan a route would be preferable
Both sound like good options.
I havent used it for anything because the GPS doesn't work for some reason...
I want to love it. But it does not work in nowhere ville US..
CoMaps operates offline, so it does not need cellular service to work.
I'd assume the complaint might be more about available osm data about nowhereville.
