This video is of Magic Earth, a free and private navigation app, doing active navigation while running on a free and open-source Android fork named AOSiP (Android Open-Source Illusion Project). I superimposed the navigation video over a dash cam video of the route taken during the same trip. The video has been edited for time and to make it a bit less boring.

AOSiP is running with neither Google Play Services nor GAPPS, but I am using the Google Text-to-Speech Engine to enable the voice prompts in Magic Earth.

I also have GNSS duty-cycling disabled in Developer Options. This burns through slightly more battery, but tends to provide the best GPS reception in the mountains by always keeping all available satellites and constellations in view.

This video was taken in Delaware County, New York. The phone used for this demonstration was a OnePlus 7t running AOSiP. The phone video was taken using AOSiP's built-in screen-recording app. The dash cam video was taken with a Street Guardian SG9663DC camera. The video was edited using Magix Video Pro X.
