Nice and simple. But in public transport it says "U-Bahn (metro) not yet available in this region" (Zurich). Guess that's future content.

This looks identical to Organic Maps ?

[murky0106@lemmy.world]

Ye I installed and it is the same. No mention of it being a fork either

[dracs@programming.dev]

They forked it

[murky0106@lemmy.world]

[eneff@discuss.tchncs.de]

None at all.

[furtiveparalysis@jlai.lu]

Switch operated with success.
Export locations from OM, open kmz file with comaps, done.

[philamand@jlai.lu]

Thank you, it seems really nice.

Edit: I'm on a camping trip and I was mad because the app wasn't able to find my next stop. Turns out that I downloaded the wrong map because I suck at local geography.

[alexdeathway@programming.dev]

For me Tracks appears ruptured, any fix for that?

[mogoh@lemmy.ml]

What is or will be different to organic maps, besides the governing? I have organic maps on my phone and I do not see a reason to switch for now.

[undaunted@feddit.org]

You probably won't gain much right now, but as the development on Organic Maps has stalled, you might encounter bugs not being fixed, no new features etc. If it stays like that, you'd probably want to switch at some point.

Will AndroidAuto work if installed from F-Droid or will I need to install the version from Google Play like Organic Maps?

[vodka@feddit.org]

Any plans for making it available on Accrescent?

[relic4322@lemmy.ml]

It didnt for me. I installed Comaps from fdroid the other day, and it didnt come up on androidauto. I guess I could try installing it from the app store and see.

[ssroxnak@lemmy.world]

There's a setting hidden in Android Auto that let's you pick what apps to show. I think it's within the app's developer settings.

Do we think traffic data will ever be available for a project like this one? Or maybe it already is and I just don't know.

[ominousorange@lemmy.ca]

Traffic data kind of requires driver tracking data to be sent to the cloud, which usually goes against the philosophy of projects like this. Unless they're obtaining it from a third party, I doubt it'll be a feature they implement.

I've tried liking co maps, but here wego works so much better, in the US..
