I'm still mostly using Organic Maps though, and from time to time I switch to Comaps to see the differences.

In general I like the colors of CoMaps more than OrganicMaps (light theme, dark is so-so), but I still use OM because:

- OM shows colors for marked trails. Pretty recent feature and not as good as in Mapy.com, but at least I don't need to switch to Mapy.com just for this feature.

- recently OM added public transport routes. UX is quite bad, but it's much better that having nothing! It was quite useful at my last trip.

The nicest feature that CoMaps added recently are map updates that are independent to an app update, and they try to update maps like once a week. So it's much more probable that you will have more up to date data there than on OM. So I started using it more too :)

Let’s be clear, in the end I use Waze for routing due to the traffic updates, but I see sometimes outdated speed limits and know OSM is one of its sources.

Decent app though. I saw someone here mention proprietary code but I wouldn't worry about it, just install the F-Droid version. That's why I use F-Droid - to guarantee I don't get proprietary blobs.

I have also contributed to the OpenStreetMap by adding POI and requesting logic to be changed.

The only major issue which I got used to but sucks, is the search when it does not involved famous places or streets or both.

Streets will be shown as minor or major and alike, I do need to use Google Maps Browser version to find the place, and the on CoMaps manually navigate to said place.

But the fact that I get a map update a week, sometimes two maps update a week which other apps will take months and subscription, that alone is worth hustle.

That‘s the simple reason I‘m using Organic Maps and not taking a fifth look at CoMaps (and I downloaded CoMaps yesterday after the HN thread).

[Edit: To answer my own question a little bit, I found a post from September 2025 that compares OsmAnd and Organic Maps (which this project forked from): https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/09/OSMAnd_vs_Organic... .

I can't find anything more recent or for CoMaps specifically, other than auto-created "alternatives" pages. I would absolutely love to hear from anybody who has tried both!]
