"Every month, Google sends me a report about where I've been, and I have to say that I'm not a fan. In fact, the idea that Google is following me around, via Maps, disturbs me. That's not the only issue I have with the default Maps app. It seems every time I have to depend on the app, my Pixel 9 Pro battery gets drained faster than when using any other app."
"CoMaps is a fork of Organic Maps, which means it has quite a bit of history (Organic Maps was based on MapsWithMe, which turned into Maps.me). MapsWithMe was an early attempt at bringing the open-source concept to the maps space and used OpenStreetMap data. MapsWithMe was aquired in 2014 by the Maps.ru group and was part of the My.com brand."
CoMaps is an open-source, community-driven map app available for Android and iOS that prioritizes user privacy by avoiding tracking and data collection. The app supports offline maps, offline search, and route planning to conserve battery and function without a network connection. CoMaps offers voice-guided directions, access to offline Wikipedia articles and subway maps, the ability to mark and save locations, and import/export support for KML, KMZ, and GPX formats. The app includes a built-in map editor to improve OpenStreetMap data and is free, ad-free, and transparent in development.
