not all of those details are currently being displayed/included in the POI pages that CoMaps has. If there's any details that would be useful to have, it would be good to open an issue on Codeberg and start a discussion of what could be included: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues (as i searched and I don't think there's an issue for that yet!)

We have recently received a trust score by 9.6 out of 10 from "European & Open Source Alternatives", a website that wants to help people find trustworthy alternatives to Big Tech.

With that stellar rating, we are currently the top-rated alternative in the Maps category, side-by-side with our friends from #OpenStreetMap ❤️

Check out how that score was calculated for us, and other map alternatives here: https://european-alternatives.cloud/en/browse?category=maps

2026-03-23T12:57:31Z

To allow all of our users to download offline maps reliably and quickly, we need servers in many different locations. Some of these servers are rented, thanks to the donations we get.

But some of them are also hardware donations, where we are allowed to use otherwise underused hardware! A big thanks go to Mathias Klein as well as the French OpenStreetMap chapter [@osm_fr](https://fr.osm.social/@osm_fr ), who provide us with server capacities in Germany and France respectively!

thanks!

Last week, the good folks at Geomob (npub1wql…as3h) released an interview with CoMaps contributor Anton.

Listen to it here to learn about CoMaps, it's history, how it connects to #OpenStreetMap and more:

A reminder for those of you who will be in Brussels for FOSDEM: Some of us will be there too!

If you want to meet up to chat about CoMaps, #OpenStreetMap, or other geo/FOSS-nerdery, join us on Matrix at "#CoMaps_EN_Cafe:matrix.org" to find a place and time.

We'll also bring a bunch of CoMaps stickers that you'll be able to find at the stand of our friends from Codeberg (npub1fh7…ee83)!

generally it's best to update the fresh maps that we've generated, as there's POI types etc. that are supported in newer versions (or only in one app so far, e.g. that OM doesn't have yet - or vice versa)!

Today, Data Privacy Day is celebrated in many countries. It's a great opportunity to take action and get back control over your personal data!

If you're looking to get off Google Maps, exporting your bookmarks/favorites from Google Maps can make a good start. Thanks to Rudo (npub1fe8…z49w) and his converter, you can easily convert your saved locations from there into a file format that you can import to CoMaps!
