CySecurity News: CoMaps: The Open-Source, Privacy-Focused Google Maps Alternative You’ll Actually Want to Use
CySecurity News —
"Google Maps may be convenient, but for some users, its constant tracking and battery drain are reason enough to look for an alternative. One such option is CoMaps, an open-source navigation app built for privacy and efficiency. Users frustrated by Google’s monthly location reports or the high battery consumption of Maps may find CoMaps to be a refreshing change.
CoMaps is a fork of Organic Maps, which itself evolved from the earlier project MapsWithMe, later acquired by the Russian-based Maps.ru group. Like its predecessors, CoMaps uses OpenStreetMap data — a community-driven platform that emphasizes transparency and collaboration. The app, available for both Android and iOS, stands out for its offline usability and no-tracking policy. "
