I just want it to keep my "north is up" setting instead of defaulting to rotating the map whenever I start a route...
- Make a pull request! Study how to implement and then submit the change. The power of open source is yours!
  
  That’s nice and I agree, but time is a serious constraint.
  
  <reads the small book on environment setup and contributing>
  Yeah... I'll get right on that.
CoMaps making Codeberg more popular will help pay the part-timer who is only making 12k a year. Hopefully the increased traffic will help them gain an extra 14k a year since it costs 26.6k a year to live in Berlin.
The only issue I had is that it sent me down a bridge that's only open for certain hours at a time when it was closed, but that's quite the edge case.
- Unfortunately, navigation has lots of such edge cases. I'm trying to find an alternative to Google Maps, but it just handles these cases the best. Even paid navigation app focused on the local market, NaviExpert, directed me through a road accessible to residents only
  
  I've been very happy using Waze, but that's Google owned so not very different from GM
- Was this Vancouver lmao

I used it for the first time today and didn’t have any issues! Including a re-route from a missed exit.
I love it tbh. It's clean and straightforward and very light on battery. Would use it way more if there weren't so many construction sites around where I live (road blocks are not currently considered by navigation)

What's the reason for forking from Organic Maps ?
- Essentially it's completely community driven, and may diverge further in then future. This and the about us page explains some of it.
