    I do like that it’s available offline, but does it have live traffic if you’re online? Waze has informed me about many a traffic jam and helped me circumvent them. Plus temporary road closures in case of big accidents, etc.

    Edit: Ay, it’s Estonian! Always cool to see something come out of my tiny home country.
