@Synnr The amount of people who have contributed to OpenStreetMap, to the map data, is massive. More than >2,000,000 people, and about 50,000 people edit the map every month.

Which app did you try? OSM is a little decentralised, so there are many.

I don't recall. What would you recommend now for someone used to Waze?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

@Synnr I haven't used Waze. But @organicmaps is great

@Synnr @amapanda

Magic Earth has quite a clean interface and traffic data if you have an internet connection.

Closed source, but uses OSM data.
