GMaps -> car GPS

What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.

Organic maps rocks

He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.

Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.

Investigate CoMaps... There's some drama around Organic Maps due to bad leadership

It is up to you

Personally I don't see anything wrong

Because traffic data can't be obtained without some tracking...

I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network

Either way the problem isn't with the technology, but with how many people in a road junction is using that software.

In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.

Great info so that's why non popular japaneese car app is working great for him
