Re:Google Maps won't let you save home address without allow... by brewdad on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @12:35AM (#18072817)
The big issue preventing me from using something like OsmAnd is my need for real-time traffic. Generally, I can figure out where a place is with only the address since the N-S streets in my city are numbered and the first digits of an address on a cross-street corresponds to the numbered Avenues. Traffic, OTOH, can easily vary by 30 minutes on a 15 mile trip day to day even without any crashes along the route.

Is there an open, or at least more private, app that can give me accurate traffic data?

Maps.me, which also uses OpenStreetMap data, can show live traffic info. Not sure where they get the data from or whether it's accurate.
