I Uninstalled Waze for This French App (and I Don't Regret It)
📱 Tired of intrusive ads on Waze and the sharing of your personal data on Google Maps and Waze?
Discover RouleMap (formerly Identicar), the 100% French GPS app that's free, ad-free, and respects your privacy!
In this comprehensive step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you how to install, configure, and use RouleMap every day, whether you drive a gasoline, diesel, or electric car (Tesla, Renault, etc.).
💡 On the agenda: accurate toll and fuel cost estimates, smart search for the cheapest gas stations, planning of stops at highway rest areas filtered according to your needs (restrooms, restaurants, baby equipment), and management of fast charging stations (Tesla Superchargers, Ionity).
So, is RouleMap ready to replace the American giants? Let's take a look at its strengths, its "secret" features, and its current limitations compared to Waze.
