Analysis Summary
CoMaps released version 2026.05.06 decoupling map file updates from app updates, allowing the open-source mapping app to push fresh OpenStreetMap data weekly instead of requiring full app reinstalls. This reduces friction for users who want current maps without waiting for the app store release cycle. The feature is already live on Codeberg, F-Droid, and iOS, with Google Play rollout pending.
