Hi, I’m starting to try to use CoMaps in the Philippines, I’m realizing that there isn’t much detail yet here. Not many restaurants, landmarks, etc. Is this due to lacking underlying OpenMaps data?
Grab uses openstreetmap, unfortunately, I don’t see them contributing back. Grab maps probably is another alternative if you are in metro manila
Hi! Not trying to hijak your post, but speaking of maps, is google maps the “best” in the philippines, and will apple maps never catch up?
What is comaps? Is there an app for that?
Google maps will always be the best because it’s all about the userbase as the users constantly update the map or share traffic updates.
In that country most people are using Waze, some are using Google Maps, and a few like me use OpenStreet.
Is this due to lacking underlying OpenMaps data?
Yes. If Comaps is your primary navigation app, I recommend also contributing missing locations in Openstreetmap itself. I typically add locations I go to if there isn’t one yet (after using a secondary navigation app). Comaps is pretty awesome and I use it whenever I don’t need live traffic.
