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, who provide us with server capacities in Germany and France respectively!
Release 2026.03.09 is out. It brings many improvements, including displaying the amounts charged for using facilities, displaying populations of cities and towns, and on Android support for Type 1 Combo EV chargers.

Together, Javi – a FOSS advocate and Linux hacker – and his partner Rebecca are bikepacking (and hacking) around the world. On our blog they talk about their adventure and how they use CoMaps to always find their way even in remote places, thanks to #openstreetmap-based offline maps!

Since the #39c3 in December, every first Sunday of the month has been a "Digital Independence Day" for trying out alternatives to dominant/big tech platforms.
If you're looking to explore alternatives to Google or Apple Maps, why not give CoMaps – or any of the other open source map-applications that are based on data from #OpenStreetMap – a try!
You can learn more about the #DIDay here: https://edri.org/our-work/didit-edri-members-spark-movement-for-alternatives-to-big-tech/

Since 1999, February 21 is UNESCO's International Mother Language Day, promoting multilingualism! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mother_Language_Day
As a global community, and thanks to the efforts of more than 200 translators, CoMaps is already available in more than 50 languages. Why not celebrate Mother Language Day by adding some translations and grow that number? https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/comaps/
Beyond fresh #OpenstreetMap data, you can now search for æøå, disable the display of speed limits on Android, and when navigating in Apple Car Play or Android Auto, 3D buildings are disabled to improve legibility of the map.

For our social media posts, release notes etc. we often need CoMaps map screenshots. And to reflect our global community a bit better, we'd love to showcase locations that YOU think would make a great release/social media feature image.
Send us a link (either to the place on https://osm.org/ or via the CoMaps share function), and we'll try to feature those places in upcoming release notes, social media pages, etc!
