About CoMaps
CoMaps is an open-source maps and navigation app that works fully offline once you download a region. It uses OpenStreetMap data and offers search and turn-by-turn routing for walking, cycling and driving with voice guidance, all without mobile data. An outdoor mode highlights hiking trails, campsites and water sources, contour lines help with route planning, and offline Wikipedia snippets describe places along the way. A public transport layer covers subway and light rail in a growing list of cities. The project is a community-driven fork of Organic Maps (itself descended from Maps.Me), developed in the open on Codeberg and funded by donations, with no tracking or data collection. It's free for everyone and runs on Android, iOS, macOS and Linux. It suits travellers, hikers and privacy-minded people who want Google Maps-style navigation without an account or ads, accepting thinner live traffic and business data.
Best for: Hikers, travellers and privacy-minded people who want free offline navigation.
