Magic Earth: "Get real-time traffic info, updated every minute"
 How - even if you have mobile data? I know some countries (NL?)
 have open data sources for traffic data.

Yes, of course they must query some kind of traffic service for the
current location and this needs mobile data enabled.

Are speed limits remotely up to date on OSM? In England they
 change frequently.

I don't know - I do not drive with a car very ofen. Most of the time I
commute by bike and for that purpuse OamAnd is totally fine, especially
in combination with BRouter and custom profiles - complete fast offline
navigation and much better routes than many online services.

I have OsmAnd (on an iPhone) for walking. For driving I use Google
 Maps.

With Google Maps I already had some serious issues for car navigation
when you do not only take major roads and highways. OsmAnd was much
better for that.
