	tl;dr: CoMaps is a free, open-source offline maps and navigation app forked from Organic Maps and Maps.Me, built on OpenStreetMap data. It offers GPS-based routing and search without mobile data, emphasizes privacy (no tracking or data collection, audited by Exodus), and is optimized for battery efficiency. Development is community-driven via Codeberg.
	HN Discussion: ↑Positive user experience with CoMaps, works well with minor timing inaccuracies ↓Suspicion that CoMaps promotion is coordinated astroturfing against Organic Maps ↑Supports fork due to governance issues and proprietary components in Organic Maps ↓OSM-based apps have fundamental weaknesses in search quality and lack of user-generated content ~CoMaps feels bare-bones compared to alternatives like OsmAnd, missing key features like trams
