I used to use wikiloc, but most of the things that offer which were the most interesting things were by paying, so I think that it could be some opportunity for using these maps and vibe coding for creating something spectacular!

Does anyone know how fresh the business data is? like opening, closure, phone, address of businesses?

i think one thing that's going for google is the network effects and what it's able to do.

Depends a lot on where you live. My village is pretty fresh cuz I update it lol. My impression is that it's quite good in western Europe, might take a month in major US cities, and probably years old in most other places. I think Indonesia, Israel, and Japan are decent as well.

Agreed, same here. But I don't update shops I don't support, such as tobacco, big chains.

It's as fresh as OSM databse : it depends.

You can take the initiative here.

Honestly in my experience is that in some parts of the world, or even particular neighborhoods even google maps is useless.

Even for routing google maps still fail with some one way streets directions.

Can you connect CoMaps to your car's navigation, like you can with OsmAnd?

Does it work on iOS app integration and does it has support for building application layer stuff like how MapBox sdk enables?

CoMaps an end-user app, not an SDK.

Very good for trails

How does it compare to AllTrails in America?
fizwidget 21 hours ago||
Unless I’m mistaken they both ultimately use OpenStreetMap data. So, effectively the same coverage of trails.

AllTrails has its whole review system sitting on top of course.

This is correct. Tools might however display them slightly different, have different update schedules or make different cartographic choices (e.g. not showing node networks or something)

Is it possible to change the maps' colors and contrasts now? Last time I checked I thought the lower contrast and washed-out colors compared to Organic Maps were a poor choice so I switched back to OM.

There is an outdoor map style which is more contrast to the general/default style, if that helps.

Does anybody know of a feasible alternative to Google Timeline?

Half of the solution at least on Android is https://gpslogger.app. Then you need to find a way to render the data to a map, such as with https://dawarich.app. Looks like the last time I looked at that project (and wasn't quite sold on it) was 1.5 years ago, so time for a second look.

I have set up Owntracks with a self-hosted server, and the android app reports my location to it periodically over MQTT. I would prefer to use https://dawarich.app/ but last time I tried it it was clearly very beta-quality and not ready for reliable usage.

Hi, what were the issues you have encountered in Dawarich? Any feedback appreciated!

Do CoMaps somehow support overlays, like bus routes? OSMAnd does that, but I see no such option in CoMaps anywhere (a map layer, a separate map, etc).

There is a subway overlay. And there is marked hiking routes overlay being in development. There is a also an outdoor-focused map style (some people call it a layer too).
