Talking about the app features, here are some of the bigger / easier to notice differences:

- added automatic backups for bookmarks and tracks

- added 100m-step altitude isolines to all regions that had worse or no isolines

- a big rework of the map colors - lighter, warmer, friendlier

- add a setting to customize the leftmost button or hide it

- removed semi-transparent background in Subway layer

And there is a bunch of smaller changes, for details check the release notes: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases



Why all of these features weren't contributed to Organic Maps instead of creating a fork?


You can read the reasons for the fork here: https://www.comaps.app/news/2025-04-16/1/

Me personally, the CoMaps people seem more open to other contributors


Oh man, if automatic dark mode (dependent on whether dark theme is engaged on phone) is added, I would switch immediately.
