LexisNexis, which generates consumer risk profiles for the insurers, knew about every trip G.M. drivers had taken in their cars, including when they sped, braked too hard or accelerated rapidly.

    There’s an open source navigation app called OsmAnd that uses Open Street Map data. I’ll never use Google Maps/Waze again.

      Holy shit the customization is incredible! I’ve tried OSM apps in the last but I either missed this one or it’s come a long way. Either way, thank you!

      I do have that as an offline backup. I’ve never used it for driving though.

        It has so many features and customization options that it can be a little confusing until you get it set up how you want it. The first thing I’d recommend is making sure it’s in the orientation mode where the map will rotate to follow your direction of travel instead of always pointing north. (You can change the orientation mode by tapping the compass icon.)
