This app is great. If it offered some sort of traffic aware navigation routing I would use it as my daily driver. I live in the city and traffic conditions can make a huge difference. Unfortunately, I don't think it has this capability. Hopefully someday.
Magic Earth has traffic. That’s the reason why I use it instead of Organic Maps.
I have looked at the routing on routes I regularly drive and it seems like Magic Earth has a better routing algorithm than Organic Maps. At least it doesn't try to send me through the middle of a town when there is a route around the town using the highway as Organic Maps often tries to do.
