Question, because I'm not finding much information on this. Supposedly we can incorporate overlays from OSM into CoMaps that shows Flock camera locations on our routes. Would you have any information on how to do this or a resource that could show me how? Thanks in advance.

I wish I did. :(

I've never heard anything about this. In fact, I've never heard of overlays on CoMaps generally. My only guess is that maybe the rumor is related to OsmAnd, which does let you create custom overlays given a URL source.

I only use CoMaps on desktop, which is to say not very often, so I'm a lot less familiar with it. Sorry!
