        We have an indication they aren’t — they make claims that are demonstrably untrue.

        [edit] actually, the website is pretty clear about what they do and don’t do. It’s only the poster on here who’s overplaying the availability, OSS and privacy angles.

          I don’t see a single thing that’s claims they are Open Sourced. Not sure how you or OP are coming to that conclusion.

          They use open street maps and crowd source the traffic pattern just like the rest of the map apps.

          Putting those together doesn’t mean they claimed to be open sourced.

          Could you elaborate, please?

          The only other response of yours in the thread is that it’s not available in Canada, which doesn’t seem to contradict any of the claims in the thread title?

          I didn’t say they were OSS (though I agree that it would be much better if it was), and I actually had no idea it wasn’t available in the US app store, since I installed it a while back when it still was. Not sure what’s going on there.

      Then it’s a good thing it was posted to the privacy community and not the open source community.
