Hell is there something better than google maps, that can show traffic? I hate the way it randomly routes down dirt trails to avoid interchanges. Recently I had to put stops every 30km or so to get it to path down a straight highway instead of adding an hour to my trip by diverting 100 km north or south. There wasn't any traffic, google just does that, and has since like 2020.

    While I've not used it myself, OsmAnd can apparently use Google's traffic info as an overlay.

    Recently did a 40 hour round trip drive, and I used that trick. Shaved 3 hours off the trip each way by adding random stops

    40 hours is rough, I did Georgia to Ohio and back once, there were times when I definitely should have pulled over and napped during my shift.

    I'm pretty conditioned to long stretches awake (about 35 hours is my max before I am effectively drunk). If I'm driving or something, I try to nap at least an hour or so after 18-20 hours awake.

    It was a nice drive, though. 20ish hours one way, if I didn't stop at all, which of course I did, and made several detours haha

    I haven't tried it personally, so I am just mentioning it as an alternative: Magic Earth offers traffic in their premium plan https://www.magicearth.com/traffic

    I was consindering testing it for one year to see how it does compared to other navigation apps.

    Trafic info is pretty good. But it doesn't really take road works and stuff into consideration, or does so quite late fron my experience. Might be region dependent though.
