To calculate the "best" routes and more accurate arrival time estimates, #CoMaps assigns so-called penalties to road features like traffic lights.

For this to work, data needs to be available and correct in #OpenStreetMap. Check out how you can tag errors in data.

Antelope Canyon

Carved millennia ago, this Arizona slot canyon twists through towering sandstone walls etched with wave‑like patterns. Sunlight pours in, casting golden shafts that paint reds, oranges, and golds—turning the canyon into a work of art.

The iodéOS team, developer of a Google-free Android, chooses CoMaps as the default map navigation app!

Iodé’s core value is prioritizing open source apps, and a poll let the community decide. It’s wonderful to see community together.

Many apps have code that is closed and not visible publicly. Other apps like CoMaps, have code that anyone can see and use. What makes open-source apps great?

- Transparency
- Community Power
- Innovation
- Freedom

“Users” can be co‑creators
