Firing the sales team = less income = some higher up will see declining profits = it will be killed

    Well that is unfortunate, Waze is a great community that showed what is possible with crowdsourced information and keeping people from getting as many sepeding tickets

      Crowdsourcing proprietary software - it ends the same every time. People should just do OpenStreetMaps instead

      If you actually care about crowdsourced information, please consider contributing to your local area in OpenStreetMaps. There’s way more to crowdsourcing than just avoiding speeding tickets!

        Indeed. I update it regularly through OsmAnd. It even has a google traffic overlay. Waze users can slide over to Magic Earth and start reporting traffic, construction, and speedvtraps over there and automatically start using OpenStreetMaps!

          To clarify, does Magic Earth let people mark cops?

          If so I assume it only works well in larger cities?

            Yes. The priblem with crowdsourced data, is it requires a crowd. This is why I encourage everyone to hype Magic Earth to people who love waze. I attached a screenshot of the available alerts.

        Seriously ?
        Cop are master at putting trap in the worst area possible, like where it goes from 110 to 90 then 110 again over 200 meters.

      Until cities started going “hey, why do they have more info about where our cops are than us” and threatened to sue. Last I heard, that feature was banned in several states.
