Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just tried for the first time today and I really like it. Simple, clear and easy to use. Has some nice features too, including a neat little progress bar at the bottom of screen. Thank you CoMaps!

The best free mapping app

Absolutely brilliant app for walking, cycling and even as a great sat nav back up. The only slight change I’d like to see is the colour of footpaths in light mode. They are currently a white dotted line on a very pale green map background. A darker colour for paths would make this app unbeatable

great app

i appreciate the work that the devs are doing to give us a good alternative to that of gps' made by big tech. thank you for working so hard, i'm glad yall are always giving consistent updates 🙏 hopefully new map styles/a satellite feature will be implemented in the future :)

Supplementing Apple Maps

Update 10/6/26:
Very nice map app! It has a bug though. After making an edit, tapping on another location and trying to tap on the edit (pencil) will instead drop a pin on and select the location beneath the icon.

-------------------

I really like the detail available in this map app! While it isn't as feature rich as the big corps, the fact that this map can point out individual lamp posts, fire plugs and trash cans is nice. I like to use them as markers, while I'm searching for my shot or want to make finding a specific location easier. Really, it's not going to take much more before Apple and Google start to get nervous

I hope that the devs can service the marker feature. Custom names and icons would make locations easier to identify your saved locations

A compelling alternative to other navigation apps!

Works well for basic navigation whilst maintaining privacy! While OpenStreetMap may not always have the most up-to-date info on points of interest in certain areas, being able to contribute directly from the app is a nice touch!
