Pull request here: update!: add HERE WeGo recommendation by eylenburg · Pull Request #2948 · privacyguides/privacyguides.org · GitHub
HERE WeGo is a proprietary app made by HERE Technologies, a company owned by a consortium of multiple German automakers as well as Intel. The app’s features include turn-by-turn navigation for walking, cycling and driving as well as using public transport, live traffic information, speed camera warnings, terrain and satellite maps, the ability to download maps for offline use, and shop info such as opening times or Yelp reviews.
The app can send your location data in order to provide real-time traffic information, but this is an opt-in feature and the data is anonymized (not linked to your personal identity).
Unlike the previous recommendations, HERE WeGo uses its own proprietary map data and is therefore a good option for users who live in regions where OpenStreetMap is insufficient. In fact, HERE’s map data is used by several car manufacturers for their built-in navigation systems.
