From this version onward, updating the map files of CoMaps is no longer tied to updating the app. Which means we can bring you fresh based maps more often!

Ok, but it is more resource protecting, due to less traffic. Especially if you are (e.g. at a trip) requested to do it w/o cost free or flat rate connection and especially with roaming.
So I would be happy, if it will be a future 'opt in' feature.

But this is a feature, which is not urgent.

But, You can ask the community here, what is the preference and usage.

That's by design, as we promised we wouldn't do any internet connections without user consent - at some point in the future there'll likely be a opt-in for automatically checking for new maps in the background but for now it's all manual. ๐Ÿ™‚

In practice you should still get maps more often, as we don't have to build a new app version and get it reviewed & approved by Apple!

Personally, I think it would potentially also shift a lot of computational burden onto end-user devices for the merging, which could be problematic for older devices. So it's a bit of a trade-off to consider!

But so far, you never would get newer maps without first updating the app (maybe you didn't notice because of having auto-app-updates enabled?)

From now on, you don't have to update the app version first, in regular intervals there'll be new maps available in-app!

If you mean just getting a "diff" of the changes, that's quite a bit more complex to implement and nothing to expect soon I think!

But, we know that many of our users also use CoMaps for actively contributing to OpenStreetMap - and for them having fresher local maps helps making better contributions!
