After Google Play took it's time, release 2026.07.16 is finally out on all platforms. Among other things, it includes lane guidance on iOS/CarPlay, a route preview screen and many more. See https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2026.07.16-10 for the full list of changes!
Is that why there's no map update this week yet?
In reality there were two updates, with data from July 21st and July 28th, but those newer maps required having app version 2026.07.16 - so the Google Play folks needed to wait for Google to finish the app review before being able to access them!
Is there supposed to be a fixed schedule?
Also considering the ability to update maps seperately from the app now, it would be dope to have a map autoupdate feature. But i dont want to update all my maps for areas i rarely visit so it should be selective so you can mark individual regions that should always be kept up to date. I havent checked the issues yet, maybe it was already requested.
There's no fixed schedule, but since they decoupled map updates from app updates they have been providing map updates almost every seven days.
