If you're looking to explore alternatives to Google or Apple Maps, why not give CoMaps – or any of the other open source map-applications that are based on data from #OpenStreetMap – a try!

@CoMaps Is there a way to improve real-time public transit routing?
I’d love to help with that, even as a beginner. To me, this is one of the biggest challenges for FOSS maps right now. -

@CoMaps Where are the servers? In Europe or in USA?

@CoMaps I love that app, it's really handy on my phone, thanks to the good data from OSM (especially in the city where I currently live, Lyon in France) and the hard work from all the CoMaps contributors to put all the bricks together!
I'm wondering if it could be possible to have additional layers of data for public transportation. Right now, only subways are shown, but in Lyon, trams are important too and so are buses. Is it possible to add "light rail" to the subway layer and if so, how?

Shouldn't really matter as you just download the maps once and routing is done locally on your phone

@pieq improving public transport is something that's being worked on. You can track progress and help out in those issues on Codeberg:
