I hope they will make the destination search much better, it's almost unusable now, and unintuitive. Regarding traffic data, how much could it be per user per year, something like this https://www.mapbox.com/traffic-data ?
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.

Holy shit. Yes, it does. Thanks! Hadn't heard of it until today
Not FOSS though. But privacy first
