Magic Earth sat nav app (Android and iOS)

You could go to a McDonalds or somewhere and do it on their wifi.

I've tried this in the past and their connections are so slow it's not worth considering...

True, just handier, I sue them for uploading Netflix if I run out of stuff to watch on longer trips, Cafes are normally better or pubs,

Copilot was free I am sure they will charge. I have a lifetime with copilot had to fight for my rights but it doesn’t update anymore sneaky barstewards

I bought a lifetime Copilot (in the days when you always bought everlasting licences). After a few years deleted. I installed it again and had no trouble logging in. However, live traffic is an extra that I don't have. So I deleted it again.

I have it as a back up and keep it updated, but Google maps is my go to in the car or the van.

An update, quite literally...

Magic Earth routed me onto a toll road in Portugal yesterday, namely the A25 at Aveiro. This concerned me so I checked the OSM mapping later and found that the A25 was now noted as having no tolls.

It occurred to me that this might be an error so I posted about this on the OSM Community forum. Very quickly I was advised that the toll status had been changed recently, and another contributor cited an item on the web about the Portuguese government removing tolls from some roads with effect 1 January.

Unfortunately the government has not updated or removed the signs.

This shows how quickly map changes can be effected and the relatively short timescale for these changes to be applied to the app.
