Magic earth seems pretty good.

HD traffic and report a cop. Also not google and privacy built.

I'm very impressed about it. I wonder how they're making money if they don't sell traffic data or ads or telemetry. Their server expenses aren't cheap

I had the same thought. So I emailed them and asked last year. Below is the reply:

Hello, We are glad that you like Magic Earth! Magic Earth is free for end users, but we have a paid SDK - you can check generalmagic.com for more info. We have partnerships with companies such as Selectric, Smarter AI, Absolute Cycling etc.

I'm going to give this a try today and see how it goes. Only concern is gmaps routing is probably more advanced... But it probably wouldn't be too bad for trips you know 90%+ of the way.

Magic Earth doesn't work on web browsers so it's a no from me

Do cops still do speed traps? I haven't seen one in years.

Come down to GA where it seems like all they ever do is sit around to speed trap people. And also train as a paramilitary.
