Original toot in Spanish says: “OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip.”

    Waze. Google Maps literally gathers a large part of it’s traffic real time data from Waze (which they also own).

      Maybe, but I suspect that Waze has a small fraction of the gmaps user base, so if it has compatible traffic info, it’s because it draws on Google’s data.

        Google pulls from Waze, but Waze isn’t allowed to pull data from Google.
