Downloaded this for the first time, it’s mostly great!

A few quality of life things I’d like to see before I can switch over permanently:

  • Biggest one for me: I can’t label addresses and later search for them. For instance, I label my dad’s apartment as “dad’s house” in google maps and then all I need to do is search “dad” and it’s the first suggestion. CoMaps should include saved item notes in the search at high priority.
  • Routing options for bikes/walking should include “avoid hills” and “bike safe routes preferred”.
  • Public transit routing is severely limited. Suggests a single route, no routing options. Probably the most useless option, I can’t ever see using it.
  • While I understand traffic necessitates an internet connection and probably another data provider, I do miss it here.
  • No idea what the last routing tab is for (the one with the graph/node icon). Is it just the shortest path? How is it different from walking directions?
  • Multi-destination route planning would be nice to have too.

The best place for requests would be the codeberg repository issues, as that is monitored by contributors, can be linked to PRs and you can follow any progress on a request

The last option is line of sight distance, I think
