Magic Earth is a free navigation app developed by General Magic, a company based in Budapest, Hungary. It offers a full-featured navigation experience with real-time traffic information, turn-by-turn voice guidance, and offline maps — all without ads or user tracking. It uses OpenStreetMap data combined with traffic data from TomTom.

• Turn-by-turn voice navigation with real-time traffic-aware routing
• Downloadable offline maps for any region — works without internet
• Public transit directions including buses, metros, and trains in supported cities
• Speed camera alerts and speed limit display
• Dashcam recording mode and head-up display (HUD) for night driving
• 3D maps and building views for better orientation
• Crowd-sourced traffic data for accurate arrival times
• Available on iOS, Android, and pre-installed on some Huawei and Honor devices

Privacy and Security

Magic Earth is developed in the EU (Hungary) and follows a strict no-tracking policy. The app does not collect personal data, does not serve ads, and does not build user profiles. Location data stays on your device. The app is free to use with no paid tiers — General Magic generates revenue through B2B licensing of its navigation technology, not from user data. Being EU-based, the company operates under GDPR by default.

Ideal For

• Users looking for a Waze-like experience without the tracking and ads
• Drivers who want real-time traffic and speed camera alerts with privacy
• Commuters who need public transit routing
• Anyone who wants a fully featured, free navigation app from an EU company
