Destination search in all the OSM based maps is a challenge. The Latin letter transliteration only applies to large features. So if I want to find an address in a country try that doesn't use Latin script, I literally need a keyboard in that language or do a lot of cut and paste from Google Translate. My address never, ever works on OSM. Gets the wrong street, can't even handle house/building numbers. Works fine on Google.

Magic Earth handles it decently.

How does that work?

Magic Earth has live traffic data.

I could switch to this app if it had live traffic data.
Isn't there any shared traffic data to get some info from for free at least to begin with?

Holy shit. Yes, it does. Thanks! Hadn't heard of it until today

Not FOSS though

Should have named it libre map.

Thanks for asking i've been wondering myself actually. I looked it up and organic maps doesn't actually do traffic, although magic earth does (another not foss but apparenty privacy respecting map app that uses osm) It says it's just crowdsourced from the general public who uses magic earth (in an anonimous way, I guess there are enough magic earth uses for it to work since Some people say it works really well. (although others say it doesn't you should probably try it for yourself.)

On another note that I also found from my research just then, traffic knowing apps don't actually improve travel times but they do make previously congested places more congested.
sources:

source 1

source 2

source 3

Edit: Magic earth is not foss so there is no way to varify that the app is actually respecting your privacy like it says it is, i'm sorry for any confusion.

This meme format makes me sad ever since I learned that the blonde woman was outed as being severely physically abused by her husband here.

Fucking RIP, someone on Lemmy recommended it to me and I thought it was open source. Should've known that Organic Maps would've also did traffic data if it was truly open source...

For now, I'll still use it cause it's better than being tracked by Waze/Google, but damn... Hope these new maps are good.

Edit: Downloaded Comaps from Fdroid yesterday but it wouldn't download the maps, and I can't get into the app. Gave all permissions, wifi was on (but also tried on data), and turned on compatibility mode on Graphene. Downloaded today from the Codeberg repo and it still has an error downloading the maps. Anyone else experiencing this?

Magic Earth is open source and has traffic/crowd sourced stuff like Waze

Edit: Sorry guys, I don't know why I thought Magic Earth was open source. Really looking forward to this if they get traffic data in there!

Because it's an option already. "Transliterate to Latin letters."

Edit: I should add that you should look at how many keyboard layouts there are. It's kind of silly that for me to use an OSM based map and go to any county east of Slovenia I need to both have the keyboard AND know the transliteration of the alphabet.

Have you seen the Armenian or Georgian alphabets? What makes the K sound?

Did you know every dialect of a Slavic language using Cyrillic has it's own distinct keyboard varied by mostly the letter for the nya sound and J?

Greek?

All while transliteration works fine in Google.

Is this ai?

The cat's her husband?

It's the text from the article... How are you this dumb?
