This draft is to explain in simple terms what powers CoMaps

CoMaps inherits it's code as a fork of Organic Maps which is a fork of Maps.Me from when the latter was open source.

The core logic is written mainly in C++.

Map data is compiled in a powerful server (Generator) to create a custom format mwm (from MapsWithMe), it is optimized to be very compact and fast. The raw data is taken from a snapshot of OpenStreetMap, a selected type of data is filtered.

Map data structure:

• docs/feature_structure.md

It uses depending on device:

• Vulkan
• OpenGL

Graphic rendering engine

• Drape (home grown library)

The code structure is explained in:

• docs/STRUCTURE.md
