cool, i was not aware of that application. might be worth looking into. it feels like it wold need a pretty large critical mass to make real time traffic useful though.
AFAIK they sell location libraries and maps, the app is just an “example” of how to consume their real product, and is probably used to also collect anonymized realtime data.
Organic maps works really well but it doesn’t do realtime traffic right?
you can only do realtime traffic if you have access to global network of gps sensors on the road. there is no way for organic maps to do it.
Magic Earth has realtime traffic in it. Or close to. Use it to contribute. I keep it on when I’m driving even if I don’t need it for navigation.

also, how do they make money?

…ah.
For that you need Magic Earth.
Where is that available? Is it a standalone app or an addon/plugin?

It’s an app.
