Organic maps is great and I wish I could use it more. I commute in a city and traffic data is very important to me when it comes to route planning. It can be the difference between an hour commute and a 15min commute. Due to this, I’m pulled back to using google maps as my default.
Is it not possible to anonymize traffic data so that it can be made available in google maps? I’d gladly contribute a bit of data in order to improve this app. I’d even pay a bit of money for a pro version.
Great app all the same.

This would be a great start. Strong Antitrust = Competition.
It feels like Lemmy is growing up. Love to see it.
I’d be willing to share anonymized data as part of a collective traffic data alternative to Google. I imagine there would still be data fees associated with this data collection. We just really need to get an open source alternative to gmaps going. Gmaps is only getting worse. Like, what if something like Street Complete was also able to collect traffic data and feed it into a sharable database?
Alternatively, I wonder if they could buy traffic data from a third party like Garmin or something. I’d be willing to pay a small monthly fee to get away from Google.
This app is great. If it offered some sort of traffic aware navigation routing I would use it as my daily driver. I live in the city and traffic conditions can make a huge difference. Unfortunately, I don’t think it has this capability. Hopefully someday.
Were the machines always successful? If not, how often did they fail and why? Was there a difference between Android or iPhones?
I like organic maps but I really need traffic data in order to plan routes around my city. As far as I can tell there is no way to get traffic data into organic maps.
Organic maps has turn by turn but does not route based on traffic.

It kinda seems like the end of the Google era. What will we search Google for when the results are all crap? This is the death gasps of the internet I/we grew up with.
Yeah. The Atlantic kinda sucks.
