"textContent": "Speeding kills many people so I’m personally opposed to tools which can help speeders evade accountability, but setting that aside I wanted to look into this a bit.\n\nPragmatic:\n\n> Completely arbitrarily, the developers have removed speed camera warnings in several countries to ‘comply with the law’,\n\nIt seems there are legitimate concerns over legality, but yes it’s true that other apps aren’t as strict in preventing the illegal use of their apps.\n\nPragmatic:\n\n> CoMaps is marketed as a community project where anyone can have their say and get involved, but in reality it’s quite different\n\nA ticket discussing how the speed camera warnings could return to block countries is still open. I assume this isn’t a settled matter and a compromise could be reached, otherwise shouldn’t this have been closed as “not planned”?\n\nPragmatic:\n\n> In any case, Comaps doesn’t offer much more than Organic Maps; there’s no point in replacing one similar project with another – Organic Maps is perfectly fine.\n\nUnless I’m missing something, your issue with CoMaps is they have been slow to implement an ideal solution to address a concerning feature? To me this pales in comparison to the far more numerous and impactful issues with Organic Maps. It’s fine if you want to bring this up as a downside to CoMaps but…\n\n> this pro-Comaps, anti-Organic Maps propaganda is becoming unbearable.Especially given the hypocrisy behind the Comaps project – it’s enough to make you sick.\n\nThis sounds like a huge overreaction?",
