I just found out that the latest upgrade of magic earth no longer works in the car, it now requires a subscription. Still works on the phone, but having it in the car display is just better.

So is there an alternative that does what waze/magicearth does that you know of? I'm thinking about the real time traffic and hazards update mostly.

Requiring a subscription for a service that costs money to provide is NOT enshittification.
You either have to pay with your wallet or your data.

They took away functionality and locked it behind a subscription. How is that not enshittification?

I was providing data. Now I'm not.
