i spent my summer last year filling all the street names on a caribbean island i was going on holiday in december, so i could use Co-Maps offline during my trip (aka Maps.me and Organic Maps before enshitification)
I’m glad to have seen your comment. It’s unfortunate people start these good projects and get taken in by the money. Using community donations to fund a personal holiday is shameful. I won’t be using Organic Maps any longer.
It’s more a feud between the founder of Organics Maps and people from the FOSS community, with the apparent inclusion of proprietary code into Organic Maps, and issues regarding to the governance of the project. Here’s an article from someone who will be better at explaining all this: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/ :)

osm is the best!
Wait did organic maps enshitify?
Thw open letter describes it best, but in short: shareholders doing things behind the devs’ backs
I see. Deleted organic maps and installed comaps on my phones.
I think the replacement is CoMaps
Read my reply again.
I’ve been stuck in a loop for three hours. I only escaped because someone slapped the phone out of my hands.
Doh!

That’s a story as old as time (or at least as old as the concept of shareholders).
