Organic Maps is the open source fork of Maps.me. It's very similar, but better maintained, and has less shady stuff

I like Organic Maps, just hoping for Android auto support.

Are there ANY alternatives to the live traffic data that Google Maps or Waze collect and provide? I know how to get around but I want to make sure that I don't get stuck on the highway. I have been looking for an alternative for many years.

I don't know. I think if something like Organic Maps got a critical mass of people using it and then integrated with Matrix so it could anonymously collect live traffic data and send it out, it would be amazing.
