Magic Earth uses OpenStreetMap data and a powerful search engine to offer you the optimal routes for driving, biking, hiking, and public transportation. They don't track you, nor do they profile you. They don't trade in your personal data, and they don't collect it (as stated in the Apple app privacy statement).

Interestingly it also has an AI function built in if you activate the camera to use it as a dashcam, with Driver Assistance warnings such as avoiding collisions, lane departure warnings, stop and go assist, etc.

It also has support for Apple CarPlay as well as Apple Watch. If there are any incorrect map issues you can fix those yourself using OpenStreetMap.

What about osmand for android? I love this app

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 years ago

Yeah, OSMand works great and the version on F-droid is completely free. For (proper) non-Android phones there is Pure Maps, which is also great.

Yes also good but not sure if it has alerting, dashcam AI features, 3D terrain, etc and runs also on iOS. I did use it on Android but quite a while back.
