I use it, but it's screwed me so many times on construction shit. Like it or not, Gmaps live info is lightyears better.

Google and Apple have an effective duopoly on traffic info.

Magic Earth uses osm data and has traffic info.

Well, now. I might give it a shot. OsmAnd~ has been my favorite iteration to date.

How good is the turn by turn?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I’m not so sure as I haven’t used it much.

Gmaps traffic can be activated as an overlay in OSMAnd. Super simple.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, okay. Color me ignorant! Looking at that now.

My personal experience is that I feel that as an overlay in OSMAnd it is not as up to date in realtime terms as the traffic layer in gmaps. I might be wrong though, I don't use it as much.
