If you want a good alternative for driving try out Magic Earth! Also uses openstreetmaps and has some Waze like features to report stuff
Thanks, I tried it a while ago (two years or more) and didn't like it then, but it looks a lot better now. Will give it a go on some routes I know and see how it does!
I am waiting for an android auto update where it has a mute button for navigation, if it had that I could live with all the inconveniences.
I am not using Android Auto, but cant you just change the voice volume to 0 in the app? Wont it carry over the settings to the car?
Sure but that is a lot more difficult to do when you forget and your a mile down the road and it's illegal to use your phone while driving. I might use it for my normal drives that I just leave on for reporting and use gmaps for navigation until it's added though.
