Today #OpenStreetMap received an incredibly generous 2 BTC #Bitcoin donation - Thank you so much! ₿❤️🙏

Around this time last year, a 1 BTC gift made a real difference in keeping our servers and services running. 2026 looks extremely challenging with rapidly rising hardware costs.

CoMaps release 2025.12.19 is now out.

In addition to fresh #OpenStreetMap data from December 17, new features on Android include better warnings about outdated maps when trying to edit OSM and the ability to specify your own remote-server for downloading maps.

(Note: For now CoMaps expects the custom server to still serve the same maps as the "official" CoMaps server, but it's a start.)

Full list is at https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/releases/tag/v2025.12.19-11

Looking for some christmassy mappy good cheer? Join us in Paddington tomorrow night (Tues) for an #OpenStreetMap pub #meetup!

Did you already find any Christmas trees in CoMaps? During the Christmas season, the app displays public Christmas trees that are mapped in #OpenStreetMap (in maps from version 2025.11.19 onwards).

Need some help to find them? Check out https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/christmas-trees_1329183 to see where you can find some!

The ones around you are not mapped yet? We plan on having another release before Christmas. If you map them now, they will be included in the last pre-Christmas release!

Special offer for AI companies: for a modest donation to #OpenStreetMap we'll give you a direct download link to our data in a machine-friendly format. Much quicker than juggling 100,000 IPs to scrape our website. Start here: https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/donate/ #ODbL #licensed #planet 😏🤖🌍💸

@gedankenstuecke I by the way found the images in iD editor pretty small to be able to read the text & phone numbers on signs to edit them in #openstreetmap Is there a way to make the images bigger somehow?
