    Traffic info requires people to share their location data with Google, so expecting traffic info while actively fighting against the method of collecting it is a bit hypocritical.

      There is a “network effect” competition problem with that view.

      Also, that isn’t the only source of information. There are a lot traffic cameras, and speed cameras just need a comms link. Probably other stat sources than those.

      We want a functional market for SatNavs, and we don’t really have it.
