# Hike, Bike, Drive Offline Navigate with Privacy | CoMaps - Host: [comaps.app](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/comaps.app/) - Saved: May 15, 2025 (2025-05-15T12:10:33Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/599ff36d183c/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/599ff36d183c.json ## What Jamie wrote It isn't obvious to most people that when you use mapping applications, particularly to route you places, you are providing as much if not more information than you are getting. Modern mapping applications depend on monitoring users movement to augment and improve the map itself. It is a 2-way street that makes the map better, and gives you directions. For driving this works fine but the privacy trade off may not be what you want. For offline use this presents problems. This mapping application is completely private, uses the trusted OpenStreetMap data source, and is designed to work offline for when you want to get away from things. This is a fork from another project and still under development. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT319: Weekly Thing 319 / Embeddings, Passkeys, Macros](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/319/), Notable ## Saved the same week - [Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true.](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/72c62f6e3cac/) (farmingdale-observer.com, May 15, 2025) - [Creating a static website for all my bookmarks – alexwlchan](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/92d31b1394d8/) (alexwlchan.net, May 15, 2025) - [What is HDR, anyway?](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8f2434a37b44/) (lux.camera, May 15, 2025) - [The cryptography behind passkeys - The Trail of Bits Blog](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4731b17c3c55/) (blog.trailofbits.com, May 15, 2025) - [F1 at 75](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/721dbbaccfc8/) (bbc.co.uk, May 15, 2025) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.comaps.app/
