I used to be so excited about tech announcements. Like…I should be pumped for ai stuff. Now I immediately start thinking about how they are going to use the thing to turn a profit by screwing us over. Can they harvest data with it? Can they charge a subscription for that? I’m getting so jaded.
Organic maps is great and I wish I could use it more. I commute in a city and traffic data is very important to me when it comes to route planning. It can be the difference between an hour commute and a 15min commute. Due to this, I’m pulled back to using google maps as my default.
Is it not possible to anonymize traffic data so that it can be made available in google maps? I’d gladly contribute a bit of data in order to improve this app. I’d even pay a bit of money for a pro version.
Great app all the same.
