Organic Maps is great in many ways. It's maps are so much better. But the lack of traffic data is a killer for route planning in the UK. All the open source maps suffer this. There needs to be open access traffic information for there to be competition.

It will be if your using MS tech for it. They will pull the plug on that too. Just not yet, it's quieter to do it separately later.
On it's on disks you control in formats you can play with anything you like, its never yours.
The business is basically thirds last I looked. Windows, Office and Azure.
Not sure how their purchase of platform companies they shouldn't have been allowed to buy plays into that. Thinking LinkedIn and GitHub.
We know where we need to focus to improve things. You need to analyze a problem to fix it. Denial fixes nothing.
You have to deal with realities no matter how uncomfortable.
Part of the reason the race element is so contentious is the data is not as good as it should be because people didn't want to collect it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002dzj6
But, if you look at the element of gender, and the element of race, in sex abuse, even with bad data, gender makes race pale in comparison.
So we need to look that shit in the face, in the eye, and deal. That's how we improve things for our daughters, and our sons.
Well she's not wrong, unfortunately. We have to face that if we are going to improve things. Which we should all want to.
I know people who are for Brexit and pro Scottish independence. I ask if they want cities independent next. Frankly I don't really speak to them any more. I'm too disappointed in them.
Oh no, they are bastards. Extra big bastards in a sea of bastards. I blame regulators. The hope is the right to repair because law in more and more places in more and more market areas.
Without the EU regulators, Apple would never have gone USB C.
Why? Anti-features aren't just Apple. All big tech do it to users.
Edit: And automotive, white goods companies, etc, etc
You looked at the Berlingo? A lot cheaper....
FPTP is going to give us a Farage reich with less than a third of the vote.
The voting system desperately needs changing. The left needs this more than the right as it's always more split. It's more idealistic, less comprising. Reform/UKIP/Brexit has been the right's split from the Conservatives, but Labour has LibDem, SNP, Plaid Cymru, Greens and now more.
My big problem is banks and satnav.
SatNav need traffic info and there is none, so their routes are bad.
Banks require apps to even use their website for "secure codes". Those apps try to detect ROMs and refuse to run, not even really being Android is going to make passing that harder.
Let alone random things like parking apps where the app is the only way to pay.
This is a political problem as much as technical. Competition is basically dead. We need government to step in and make competition possible. But they are in big tech's pocket and the status quo suits them too. Voters either don't care or believe what big tech says. It's a mess.
