Since the developers of Magic Earth decided to pull a bait-and-switch with their latest update, locking the automatic dashcam function behind a perpetual 15$/year paywall, I need a new alternative that ideally also supports automatic dashcam recording while navigating. Does anybody have a good recommendation?
It was also asking for a subscription to use android auto. Never uninstalled an app so fast.
Also just to have voice navigation :/
It is letting me have voice navigation for free, butlive traffic is behind the subscription…
Them offering it for free previously was too good to be true guess.
Wait… Maybe live traffic is still free? Idk. I don’t think so.

I think I’ll switch to HereWeGo ifitworks in USA. https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/here-wego-navigation/23752/5
Wow that’s even worse
I use HereWeGo
I think that the new version is missing the dashcam option. At least I’m not able to find it, even I paid for the subscription.
When navigating the button should appear at the bottom of the screen. Which leads you to this page
Nope, doesn’t appear for me. And they don’t mention anything about the dashcam feature on their website. Several features of the old app are missing from the new version.
The Viofo A119 is a good cheap dash cam.
I looked around a little bit and found a couple dashcam projects. This one looks the most promising.

Alternatively, are you able to downgrade Magic Earth by installing an older version of the APK?
So… Don’t upgrade the app? Should I not upgrade?
Shit I’m already on the new version. Can I downgrade?
Just uninstall it and download version 2025122009 from aurora store, three dots up right in the app “manual download”.
Also blacklist the app to prevent it from updating.
Thanks for the tip!
Also for anyone else like me new to aurora store, this is how to blacklist: update section > settings > blacklist manager
Oh man i was so disapointed when this update came. Has some one tried to fix this with luckypatcher or something?
I guess I’ll try an old APK
