Magic Earth is an alternative to Waze and Google Maps with crowdsourced traffic and road hazard information

As part of a #BigTechDiet, I've been hoping to find an alternative to #Waze and #Google Maps - a navigation app with crowdsourced traffic and road hazard information. Today, I learned about Magic Earth.

It's proprietary, but not from FAANG or a company subject to the government of China, Russia, or Five Eyes countries. It collects minimal user data and has a good privacy policy. There are versions for both Android and iOS, and the Android version works without Google services.
