Organic Maps and OsmAnd are not adding ads during navigation either. Nor "promoted pins". Nor ads when browsing the map. Nor tracking your every move.
Seriously, give them a try. And remember that, if the maps are lacking information, you are free (and encouraged) to improve them on OpenStreetMap.
My question here is directed to other readers: I find the traffic layer in Gmaps to be my most used feature for local navigation. It's the one feature I really do use every day before I drive home from work to decide which way I'm going to take to get home.
I see there are tutorials to define a map overlay in OsmAnd for traffic using Google's API that are dated from a few years ago. Has anyone here successfully done this, and do these tutorials still work in 2024?
This is the only question that really matters when it comes to these alternatives
