• [$] CoMaps emerges as an Organic Maps fork

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Jun 14 06:40:08 2025
    The open-source mobile app Organic
    Maps is used by millions of people on both the Android and iOS
    platforms. In addition to featuring offline maps (generated from OpenStreetMap cartography) and
    turn-by-turn navigation, it also promises its users greater privacy
    than proprietary options. However, controversial decisions taken by the project's leaders, feelings of disenfranchisement among contributors, and
    even accusations of embezzlement have precipitated a divide in the
    community, leading to a new fork called CoMaps.
