Title is editorialized because the original is, frankly, clickbait garbage

Yes, it does. I have used it successfully for months. My main issue is I need traffic data due to a new job and figuring which route to take. AFAIK, no other nav app has traffic data. That's the only real bummer.

HERE WeGo has traffic data but of course, as in Google Maps, it sources from other users of the same app.

If not many people use HERE, then the data is also not reliable.
