        For anyone wondering “where do they get their money?”

        It’s from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don’t sell any of your data

        Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

        I haven’t been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

      Magic Earth is proprietary, though. You can believe their privacy policy, but I have trouble believing any privacy policy if I can’t see the source code.
