Nice to see, how the score comes together.

    CoMaps is an interesting project, but I’ve gotten so used to Organic Maps 😁 are there any other features it has that could make it stand out from Organic Maps? (Besides the map colours)

    And most importantly: does it feature public transit navigation options beside the metro?

      In my experience , in Berlin it works for the U Bahn (metro) and S Bahn (train) but not for buses and trams :’)

        Yeah, I have a similar experience with Organic Maps. We don’t have anything like the S Bahn yet in Bucharest, but we have a metro and it works with it. However the vast majority of my trips are made with the surface transit (buses, trams and trolleybuses) and that’s where Organic Maps doesn’t help.

        Looks like they’re working on an integration with the GTFS feeds, albeit I would’ve been happier if they used an already established project like @transitous instead

          Transitous first release is only 2 years ago. It is possible they don’t know about this project, it might be well received to open an issue in co maps suggesting the integration of transitous

      Comaps looks and works like Organic, since its a Fork

      Public transit is bad on both, I’d recommend öffi

        I tried öffi. Nothing works in my country besides regular passenger trains, which I don’t take that often. If neither OM and Co work with public transit, then I would rather recommend any app that pulls its information from Transitous. I tried it with Träwelling just for the fun of the game, but it did work really great

    I haven’t had luck with it when it comes to finding places in Finland. And all of the open source options seem to have issues with residential areas, not just Comaps. That’s not counting the technical issues.

    HereWeGo, while closed source and a private company unfortunately, is at least European and even has public transportation data. At least it’s not Google too.

    I still use Every Door when possible to contribute, but the lack of residencies and glacial update cycles still leaves it so that I can’t really recommend these apps to even my wife, let alone others.
