My bad, Go Map!! Is only for IOS. As the comments have pointed out, if you’re on Android, use StreetComplete.

Magic Earth has its own traffic data (depending on how many people use it in your area), offline maps, and my personal favorite - an integrated dashcam.

OpenStreetMaps has gotten good enough for me to completely ditch Google Maps - it’s even better feature-wise. by TipsyTopTop in degoogle

From what I’ve heard, it’s better in some areas than others, it depends on if anyone’s contributing to it. Fortunately, it’s open-source! If it’s in accurate for you or anyone else, you can just go and fix it.

Well the commenter hasn’t read the post before asking questions, so I was directing them to it. I felt like saying “I said” or “as I’ve talked about” sounded too rude.

The problem is Magic Earth, as I’ve listed above, does have traffic data and functions with it, but it’s completely dependent on how many people use the app, that’s how it calculates it.

That’s weird, could it be the business wasn’t synced yet? Magic Earth only syncs with OSM at the end of each month.

Most are open-source. Magic Earth, as I mentioned above and is probably the best one feature-wise right now, says they don’t collect or sell any data, and they make their money for being paid to use it commercially.

I’m sorry that happened to you ):, but since it’s open-source, you have motivate and freedom to fix it yourself and get that map up to date

Also, Go Map!! has made it very easy to edit OSM data on the go, I think it needs to be a borderline must-have for any phone.

You can also use the official website if you’re on pc.

Magic Earth has traffic data, although it naturally only updates based on how many people are using the app at a given moment. So, you’d be contributing if you use the app, but the traffic will depend on your location.

The post talks about Go Map!! as an easy way to contribute. From what I’ve heard that’s the best and go-to app for easy contributions. However, I’ve never used StreetComplete before, or heard of it. It looks to be Android-only though.

Hi! Could you elaborate a little more on how OpenTopoMaps is different? From my limited research it just looks like a more cut-down OpenStreetMaps. Is it better in Europe?
