Because traffic data can't be obtained without some tracking...
In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.
Great info so that's why non popular japaneese car app is working great for him
I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network
Either way the problem isn't with the technology, but with how many people in a road junction is using that software.

Organic maps rocks
Organic died shortly ago (they'd been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.
Can't say I agree
