I use osmand for privacy but I think it just emphasises main roads. In Melbourne it always suggests turning off cemetery road west because it doesn't know it's congested and will get me stuck for 20 minutes. And there are some missing slip roads. And navigation constantly fails to start. I wonder, how difficult is it to make minor edits to the map data?

It's just OpenStreetMap, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute

To solve the problem for yourself, you can also long press a road you don't like and select Avoid Road.

To add, a bit complicated, but osm data can be edited with osmium (cpp) or pyosmium (python). Then the edited data can be put into osmandmapcreator to generate the file to use in Osmand. (I used this to route around ALPRs)
