I've come to use a privacy friendly, completely local workaround:
There's sheets of metal at the side of the road with numbers on them, the exact design depends on location. I read this number, and then keep the equivalent number on my vehicles dashboard at an equal or lower amount (slightly above seems to work as well), which prevents the speed cameras from triggering.
Thank you so much! I'll be carefull now.
Interesting idea, but why depend on such unreliable things as mental arithmetic and your eyesight when you can just have OSMAnd+ scream at you to go slower?
How can speed limits be real if our eyes aren't real?
When you have nothing else running in that work profile, it's can't snoop on it.
On the other hand, you have the phone with you, so privacy is already out of the window. ;) Also, as I guess you use google app store to install your apps in the main profile as well, google just gets 2 devices to track, 1 with waze, 1 with the rest.
When you don't want google to track you, you either have to go FOSS all the way or switch to Apple (and be tracked by them). No clue if there is an alternative for waze on the reports part. The waze user reports depends on those users reporting to google, thus being tracked.
I use Aurora store to download Play Store apps. And CalyxOS is "degooglised".
But thanks for your answer.
Thanks for your answer... the FairPhone was already on the wishlist, and it's supported. Time to ditch Samsung I guess. (I use Smasung Tablets with Lineage, phone isa Nokia with Lineage as well)
CalyxOS is a tad limited on the hardware support though.
You can look at /e/OS too then !
