Suggest me:
Instead of using Gmaps. You can try
+1 for Organic Maps. Create an open streetmap account and contribute - its a game changer for me. Instead of a consumer, you're a contributor. (That goes for all OSM ofc)
GmapsWV when you have no other choice
This, in conjunction with OrganicMaps/Osmand is god.
Is there anything other than Google maps that can pull google's traffic data? There's a lot of construction on my way to work right now so I rely on that to not get stuck in traffic.
