It's a map with routing information, live traffic, road work etc. Offline maps available if needed but obviously no live traffic reporting then. Based on OpenStreetMap.

How does it compare to Organic Maps and why can't i find it on fdroid?

[โ€“] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is better for driving while Organic Maps is open source, more private and better for walking, hiking and cycling.

Agree with all your other points, but is Organic Maps actually more private?

This seems pretty fair to me.

Also, how to you get a new paragraph in the old.lemmy.world UI?

Magic Earth collects data on location while Organic Maps does not collect any.

Iโ€™m not so familiar with Mlymn (old lemmy ui)

Thank you, I've been meaning to look for a Waze replacement.
I'll be sure to try this out on my drive tomorrow.

Waze is bad for privacy reasons I'm guessing?

[โ€“] Nougat@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

Waze is a Google property. That's enough for some people. (No shade meant there, that's as valid a reason as any.)

I tried it. The address for my business in Prince Edward Island Canada was incorrect and it didn't have a clue about my home address on the island.

Something that's fairly easy to fix. But I get what you're saying.

However, if you want to help, just log in to openstreetmap and fix it.
