Some Canadian websites, including for the federal government, displayed maps with Lake Ontario renamed as Lake America on Sunday, a day after Google Maps announced the change to align with an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump.
This is why we need to use more open source stuff not tied to a closed US company like; Apple, Google, Microslop, Twitter, Meta, and whatever else.
I would love that but the biggest disadvantage in the city is no traffic data. And yes we got around fine without traffic data for so long but traffic is much worse then at that time.
You can, for what it’s worth, use Google Maps’ traffic data on the Android app OsmAnd (Reddit link). The custom overlay takes about 30 seconds to add and is pretty straightforward.
Tested just now and still works.
Notably it won’t affect navigation, but it will show you visually where traffic is.
Magic Earth is OSM based, with some extra data added - including limited traffic information. It doesn’t have a great score on privacy though IIRC
You do realize that Google generates that by tracking the phones of everyone in the area?
Sure but you could get it from other sources. Cities have or had not sure what they do now traffic data. We have 511 that shows accidents and construction that could at least get pulled in.
Want another issue no address navigation, it just takes you to a block of addresses. Another one but it could be fixed if people use it less like way less information of where businesses are located. If I have to look up the address of a place on another maps webpage or app and then put it in might as well just use the original app.
Android auto also has issues navigating on the phone does not automatically transfer to android auto when its plugged in. And yes it has the switch button but it does not always show up or work.
