For context I switched to Magic Earth a while back as it was the best Google Maps alternative to me, however with the recent switch to a Freemium model that also introduced a ton of bugs, I’m looking for other alternatives.
One thing I noticed immediately about comaps is its misssing a LOT of addresses and places here in the US that were available on Magic Earth. Can I somehow manually import better address/maps data? It’s to the point it’s really not usable for me but I’m struggling to find anything else that works nearly as good as Magic Earth.
Yes this is what I was looking for, thanks!
Now is there any way to add this data to comaps? Specifically address data?
I don’t know, I’m not a developer. Looking at some of those databases, some of them are obviously open and others are paid licenses that the community probably can’t afford.
Looks like they use both Open Addresses and NAD, a government-provided address database. Both appear free to download, but I don’t know how easily it could be actually integrated into an app as I’m assuming that would require some time of API or something. I am also not a developer, just trying to figure out the best solution for navigation without giving all my data to Google. I did notice there’s a “Custom Map Server” option in CoMaps settings, so maybe I could manually add something there? Not sure how that works though and maybe that overrides the default database instead of adding to it.
