    I tried OSM. But the routes were not bad as if were just missing traffic data. They were bad as in " oh, you want to go north for 3 blocks on a road that does actually head north? OK, start by leading south, turn left twice and head north"

      I saw some weird routing from Open Street Maps and didn’t know why it was like that until I started using StreetComplete to help making the map better, I noticed some streets were marked as not paved (since they weren’t years ago) and the old data was still there, so the routing was trying to avoid those streets even if they were perfectly viable now. Updating that in StreetComplete fixed it.
