Release 2026.01.24 is now out on all distribution channels! Beyond fresh OpenStreetMap data, it includes adding road outlines for better readability, renaming of the “Bookmarks & Tracks” to the clearer “Favorites” and many more updates: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2026.01.24-5
That’s true, there are some projects to bring features like street view/360 view, interactive business listings, internal views, etc. In my area, I still have to switch back and forth between Google and OSM, but some areas are much more complete. It just depends on where you live and which specific features you rely on.
It will never come from scraping a copyrighted source, as that would be fundamentally against the ethos of the project 🤷

I still think osm needs better business listings, maybe the fine ladies at Anna’s can scrape Google maps 🚬
It will if you enter them.
What’s street complete? I signed up for something on osm to contribute but I never see an option to contribute
Basically Pokemon Go but you catch OSM updates: https://streetcomplete.app/
StreetComplete is a separate app dedicated to updating OSM stuff
