Please provide feedback on following changes:
- Make map download server configurable - by @NoelClick (https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/pulls/2565)
> This feature lets you set a custom base URL for map downloads. For testing, you can use one of https://cdn-fi-1.comaps.app/, https://cdn-us-2.comaps.tech/, https://comaps-cdn.s3-website.cloud.ru/, https://comaps.firewall-gateway.de/. If you host a mirror of the official maps, you can use that URL as well. Custom maps are not supported yet, they should be the exact copy of official maps.

It's been just a bit over 6 months since we made our first release, and since then CoMaps has already improved a lot!

Read our blog post about how all of our achievements are thanks to our community that has made it happen, and how you can help us improve even more in 2026.

Did you already find any Christmas trees in CoMaps? During the Christmas season, the app displays public Christmas trees that are mapped in #OpenStreetMap (in maps from version 2025.11.19 onwards).

Need some help to find them? Check out https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/christmas-trees_1329183 to see where you can find some!

The 2025.12.19-11 release is available on F-Droid, Google Play and Apple App Store!

Full changelog: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2025.12.19-11

Is It Really FOSS? is a website that reviews software that claims to be free & open source. This effort has unfortunately become necessary as projects increasingly start to "do the talk of open source", without actually "doing the walk" – effectively misrepresenting themselves as FOSS when they aren't.

Which is why we're extra happy that our offline map & navigation app has now been added to the website, listing us as a green "Yes, it's open source" ✅
