CoMaps is an interesting project, but I've gotten so used to Organic Maps ๐Ÿ˜ are there any other features it has that could make it stand out from Organic Maps? (Besides the map colours)

And most importantly: does it feature public transit navigation options beside the metro?

[โ€“] grranibal@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In my experience , in Berlin it works for the U Bahn (metro) and S Bahn (train) but not for buses and trams :โ€™)

[โ€“] petrescatraian@libranet.de 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have a similar experience with Organic Maps. We don't have anything like the S Bahn yet in Bucharest, but we have a metro and it works with it. However the vast majority of my trips are made with the surface transit (buses, trams and trolleybuses) and that's where Organic Maps doesn't help.

Looks like they're working on an integration with the GTFS feeds, albeit I would've been happier if they used an already established project like @transitous instead

Transitous first release is only 2 years ago. It is possible they donโ€™t know about this project, it might be well received to open an issue in co maps suggesting the integration of transitous

Comaps looks and works like Organic, since its a Fork

Public transit is bad on both, I'd recommend รถffi

[โ€“] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 3 months ago

I tried รถffi. Nothing works in my country besides regular passenger trains, which I don't take that often. If neither OM and Co work with public transit, then I would rather recommend any app that pulls its information from Transitous. I tried it with Trรคwelling just for the fun of the game, but it did work really great
