Software-update: CoMaps 2025.08.13-8

CoMaps is een opensource en community-driven navigatieapp voor Android en iOS. Het werkt met de kaarten van OpenStreetMap, is gemaakt om zonder internetverbinding te kunnen werken, doet niet aan tracking verzamelen van data of tonen van advertenties. Verder gebruikt het weinig resources en is het heel transparant over hoe de organisatie erachter wordt gefinancierd en bestuurd. Het is verkrijgbaar via de officiële Google Play Store en Apple Store, maar ook in de alternatieve appstores van F-Droid, Obtainium en Codeberg. Versie 2025.08.13-8 is uitgekomen en hier zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen in aangebracht:
