Surely the reason is that neither Apple Maps nor Google Maps is willing to add the code to interface with the special Flemish Traffic Signal API.
The market is too small, and there’s no profit to be made. Unlike the “you could take an Uber” ad in Google Maps.
- robocat 1y agoYes, but why do they want to be integrated with a maps App? If it can work as a background App then why not? And if you're in charge of the Google Maps App, you know you'll get blamed for draining the battery and transmitting location data continuously. It smells like someone in Belgium is lying or is looking for a scapegoat excuse. The reasoning just doesn't sound right, technically. Is there an international standard API for this? Perhaps one used mostly for emergency services? Neither Google nor Apple would want to code crap in for every single country's weird features.
