A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Depends on which app you're using

I've never found an app that works as well as Google Maps. I've tried a bunch and none of them provide so much useful information during a drive. Like telling me what lane I need to be in for an upcoming direction, letting me know the speed limit and what speed I'm actually going (motorcycle speedo reads high). Giving me info on slowdowns ahead and letting me reroute if there is a faster route. Speed trap notifications.

OSMAnd has all of those features.

I tried that and the UI felt janky as fuck. Definitely not something I'd want to mess with during a ride.

That's too bad. Works really well for me.

A ride? Like on a bike? If so I'd recommend a cycling to computer.

Motorcycle, as I mentioned in the previous post.
