Magic Earth uses OpenStreetMap data and a powerful search engine to offer you the optimal routes for driving, biking, hiking, and public transportation. They don’t track you, nor do they profile you. They don’t trade in your personal data, and they don’t collect it (as stated in the Apple app privacy statement).

Interestingly it also has an AI function built in if you activate the camera to use it as a dashcam, with Driver Assistance warnings such as avoiding collisions, lane departure warnings, stop and go assist, etc.

It also has support for Apple CarPlay as well as Apple Watch. If there are any incorrect map issues you can fix those yourself using OpenStreetMap.

    It is the choice of any publisher (their freedom?) to choose a propriatary or open source license to distribute under, and it’s up to us to choose what we want to use. We cannot override someone else’s freedoms.

      Is the choise, as far as don’t restrict to third parties, so in this case if that person wants that, must do “private software” which is software not shared and maintained for itself.

      For us, Magic Earth would not exist.
