Thanks for the link to this app. I had not heard of this one and normally don't use navigation apps because I don't like distractions while I'm driving. I do run into situations where it would be great to have current traffic information so that I can avoid getting caught up in someone else's malfunction though. I usually ask a passenger to check traffic if it looks dicey down the road or just wing it if I'm driving alone.
I read through each of the pages and found the website to be easy to navigate and found descriptions of features to be pretty good. I did find a couple things on one page that I think could be clarified. Both are on the "AI Dashcam" page.
The text in one of the subheadings should be changed since there is a pretty common grammar error in one sentence.
Under the subheading "Forward Collision Warning" where the sentence reads - "When a vehicle that is driving in front of you breaks abruptly, a quick response may be required."
Change "breaks" to "brakes" and I think it makes more sense. English homonyms got you there. It's very common to see breaks used when the writer means brakes.
The other thing on this page is just something that reads funny to me.
Under the subheading "Advanced Driver Assistance notifications on Apple Watch." there is a sentence that really puts the whole app situation in context.
The second sentence is great - "First, install Magic Earth for Apple Watch and add a Magic Earth complication to your Watch face. "
I wonder whether "complication" should have been "application" or whether the developers actually see this app on an Apple Watch as a complication like I do.
Pretty funny stuff.
I sent a link to one of my kids who is currently traveling to see what they say about it. They are in the US and from other comments the app may not be available here on iOS today but they will check it out when it is available.
- heystefan 3y agoComplication is not a typo here btw. "A complication is an element on the watch face that displays information or allows you quick access to an app by tapping on it."
- doodlebugging 3y agoThank you. I obviously did not know that but it makes sense and certainly fits.
- ddalex 3y agoTo be more specific, in traditional watch making, a complication is the display of a calculation - the traditional clock is a complication, the date display is another complication, a chronometer is another complication, the displayed phase of moon is another complication, an additional time indicator for a different zone is another complication, etc...
- doodlebugging 3y agoThat makes perfect sense now. Each additional feature complicates the original design and adds to the complexity of the finished product. Each complication requires a level higher skill set for the maker. I had never dug into watch or clock making but I see how the term fits the situation for this app.

- doodlebugging 3y agoGot me! Thanks for that correction. Too late to revise the post though.
