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In addition to fresh #OpenStreetMap data from December 17, new features on Android include better warnings about outdated maps when trying to edit OSM and the ability to specify your own remote-server for downloading maps.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

Decentralization. If the official servers stop running, someone else can quickly put up a new one and everyone can switch without having to install a fork of the app with a different server address baked into it.

That's a great point

It also reduces sever load on the project.
