offline magic earth requires now a 15€ subscription

I liked using it but 15€/year for navigation is too much for me. I'm going to stick to osmand now. At least osmand is open source. It has roughly the same features. It's just not that beautiful. I paid for osmand btw. What's your alternative?

Edit: And I like paying for osmand because it is open source.

How would it get traffic data? Are there public sources for traffic data? I thought traffic data was collected by all the phones and devices connected to the internet with a GPS.

I already know and have used CoMaps (switched from Organic due to the transparency issues), but CoMaps doesn't have traffic data, and I want that.

Magic Earth wasn't fully FOSS, but it was better than Google and Waze for privacy at least...

CoMaps is working on integrating traffic data as well, which is currently considered as "App Priorities". So keep an eye on it.

OsmAnd on f-droid. Can disable unique id.

Well, it can show traffic data as overlay via Raster maps using the Online maps plugin, but not consider it automatically in navigation.

Here are various traffic layers of proprietary providers that can be added as online map source: https://anygis.ru/Web/Html/Download_en?shortSet=true&app=OsmandSqlite

Ooh, that's cool. Didn't know about those 🙂

[-] goatinspace@feddit.org 1 points 23 hours ago

It's probably in one of the addons or online maps there

NUNAV by graphmasters.net. It's more minimalistic (only one route suggestion, no offline maps), but also based on OpenStreetMap + traffic data. I still have to test it but seems a promising alternative.
