OSM is nigh-bubkes without some other data from a service like Waze; else the "fastest" route won't take into account traffic congestion.
- Mediterraneo10 8y agoTraffic congestion is only relevant for people driving a car. More people use maps for routing than just drivers. I too live in Eastern/Central Europe like the OP, and when I am looking for a place on my phone, I am typically on foot, on my bike, or I am searching for suitable public transportation between me and my destination.
