CoMaps release 2025.12.19 is now out.

In addition to fresh #OpenStreetMap data from December 17, new features on Android include better warnings about outdated maps when trying to edit OSM and the ability to specify your own remote-server for downloading maps.

(Note: For now CoMaps expects the custom server to still serve the same maps as the "official" CoMaps server, but it's a start.)

One major motivation is the sharing of maps files in areas with bad internet connection. The custom map server allows one person to download the map and share it locally with others.

If it can help their population, I am happy for it.

Their government has always had the resources to quickly change a hardcoded link in CoMaps source code and recompile the app, if they wanted to. So yeah.
