CoMaps: The Offline App That Guided Rescuers Without a Signal in the Venezuela Response

I tried. I really tried. I just cannot get comaps to cooperate. It cannot find destinations reliably, even when I enter literal addresses. Bookmarked locations are unmanageable and depend on the appp finding the destination in the first place. You can get stuck in some menus with no way to back out, requiring you to force close and start over.
UX is a disaster. I feels like they had GIMP devs work on this interface too.

You should try Organic Maps which is original app forked by CoMaps. Organic Maps has better UI, shows public transport routes, shows alternative routes and a lot more. Give it a chance.

It’s the other way around, comaps is forked from Organic Maps.

Used that too. It had the exact same UI with the same problems.

Last I checked Organic Maps has the exact same UI… And the devs are great, hence the CoMaps team forking it.
