To enable this, on Android:
- Go to the menu -> Settings
- Click on your “Driving” Profile -> “Navigation Settings” -> “Navigation Type”
- Select “Online”
- Select “+ Add Online Routing Engine”
- Choose your routing provider that handles traffic data and enter an API Key
Even then, I find OsmAnd to be lacking because it doesn’t show me multiple options for routes, but at least I can get the best recommended route based on live traffic data.
There are ongoing discussions regarding this on their github.
Some parts of the world have traffic data freely available, in other parts you may need to pay for it. For example, see the list compiled by GraphHopper here: https://github.com/graphhopper/open-traffic-collection?tab=readme-ov-file
On the CoMaps github there are privacy concerns being brought up with live traffic data collection. Some want extra privacy where no telemetry is ever collected. Some want to be able to provide an API key for traffic data. Some want an opt-in feature with a focus on privacy protections. For example, geofencing to protect home locations, stripping out data near the starting location and end destination of any trip, stripping out IP information, only counting average speeds on certain tiles of the map, etc.
In the end I’m hoping for CoMaps to pull through with a live traffic option that also has strong privacy protections in place.
