Sidekick Navigation + Dashcam vs Traffic Ping

Sidekick is a driving companion with turn-by-turn navigation, multi-provider route comparison, dashcam recording, toll-road prompts, weather, and optional gas price info for your route.

Traffic Ping helps you check traffic to your important places before you drive. Save the places you care about - home, work, school, the gym, or any regular destination - and Traffic Ping can quickly check the current route from your location. With Siri Shortcuts and App Intents, Traffic Ping is designed for hands-free use. Ask for an update, and the app checks your saved destinations, estimates travel times, and speaks the result in your interface language. It is especially useful when starting a drive, connecting to CarPlay, or deciding which destination makes sense right now. What Traffic Ping does: • Save multiple named destinations on the map • Check routes from your current location • Get traffic-aware drive times • Use with Siri Shortcuts and automations • Designed for simple, hands-free driving routines Traffic Ping is not another full navigation app. It is a quick route-checking assistant for the places you already know. Before you go, ping your routes.
