@pineapple I use Waze and the traffic info are very very usefull, especially when there are closed road or accidents. I know, it's Waze and I'd love to be able to use OsmAnd (which I use for other purposes), but the traffic info that has Waze is the best so far (at least where I live)

The construction cite issue is a fair point. If you really need traffic maybe you should try using magic earth. It's not FOSS but the privacy would still be leagues better than Waze (which is owned by Google)

@pineapple I am usually careful about my privacy (I self host most services that I use), but for traffic I've balanced the pros and cons since an app with a million download can't beat Waze, I'll use the latter ☹️

Fair enough, I'll stop bugging you.

@pineapple I don't see any bugging at all, just a share of information, communication! 🙂
