By the total number of edits made, CoMaps was the 15th most used #OpenStreetMap editor in June. At first glance, that might not sound like a lot, but: With that, we are the #1 OSM editor that is not mainly an editor but a fully fledged map & navigation app and also editor! From the start we have said that we want CoMaps to be a good citizen of the larger OSM ecosystem and make sure that we and our users contribute back. And it looks like you're all making good on that!

@CoMaps@floss.social Bringing more people to OSM editing is awesome! Good job! But I wonder how conflicts are solved. CoMaps works on offline map data with a certain age. What happens when someone edits a point in CoMaps that was edited in OSM data but CoMaps not having the latest data avbailable.

@CoMaps@floss.social ohh, so that means that CoMaps already surpassed Organic Maps, at least for users that are a bit involved in the community. That's great news!

@CoMaps@floss.social Just a quick question. Is there a function in comaps that shows on the world map that which regions i have downloaded? Organic map has it.

@CoMaps@floss.social How useful is it to record a track? I found a missing trail link here and there but editing it would be a lot of work. Wondering if just recording a track would be useful for some system to detect the missing link. Also, is there value at all for recording tracks of well known and well mapped trails?
