Alternative to Magic Earth? (lemmy.ml)

Since the developers of Magic Earth decided to pull a bait-and-switch with their latest update, locking the automatic dashcam function behind a perpetual 15$/year paywall, I need a new alternative that ideally also supports automatic dashcam recording while navigating. Does anybody have a good recommendation?

Just get a separate dashcam and use CoMaps for navigation. Cheap dashcams aren't very expensive.

I got myself one this year. The only problem is that you need to wire it up if you don't want a USB cable dangling around. In my old car with no A-pillar air bags, it was relatively simple. Still took a while to remove the interior trim pieces, wire the camera through a fuse at the appropriate +12V terminals, and then put it all back together.
