Is there an option for online navigation? (lemmy.world)

I noticed that on OSMand there's an option which lets you use online navigation, which lets you avoid using up storage space, I think this is particularly useful on a 1-time journey, either long-distance or in an area you won't visit again. You'd also be able to get real-time travel info like public transport times and the quickest routes, granted not as good as google's harvested data, but still something that could be useful.

Organic Maps is an offline map so it unfortunately does not have live data for traffic. That’s why people use Magic Earth for driving.

I don't think that's quite what they meant, save for their comment about public transportation times

I think they mostly meant like automatically downloading needed maps as you go so that you don't have to download everything in advance, and keep them saved on your system, periodically updating
