Hi,
after 2017 and 2018, today I took a third look at "Magic Earth" (also OSM based).
Result: has improved, but I still mostly like MFN better, except for one thing: TIME ESTIMATES.
Two concrete examples: I regularly use two routes - quite different in composition (city streets, some Autobahn , city streets / some city streets, more Autobahn, some country roads), but both, barring traffic jams, have a median travel time of 15 minutes.
Both apps offered a choice of three routes.
Magic Earth: 14, 15(my usual route), 18 / 15(myr), 15, 18
Navigator: 8(myr), 8, 9 / 9(myr), 10, 11
[I even tweaked my Car profile in Navigator to use the minimum speeds that occur on those two routes - for example the second Autobahn has 50% at 80 km/h, 50% unlimited; I set Navigator to 80km/h]
SURELY after years and years and YEARS of complaints by various users it MUST be possible to get this right!?
After all, as seen above, others can do it!
Kind Regards,
Jochen
