Free and open navigation with privacy, built by the community
CoMaps is a community-focused privacy navigation app for travelers - drivers, hikers, and cyclists. It uses the crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data with contributors from all over the globe. It offers navigation with privacy - no identifying people and no data collection. CoMaps features can operate without an active internet connection for offline navigation at urban or distant locations, where cellular service is not available. CoMaps is an open-source project, and prioritizes community development.

Governance issues and community concerns not addressed by company shareholders stalled the development of Organic Maps for months.
The CoMaps community & non-profit project was founded by former Organic Maps contributors, based on the Organic Maps source code.
