Google Maps: Why the application in Peru does not work at full capacity? | Google Street View | Technology

The features and updates of Google Maps are available at different scales in every country in the world. This is due to the amount of information that the application can find on each market and licensing agreements with data providers, the reasons that affect this service in Peru .

Google Maps works in a constant way to "improve international coverage". Thus, in Peru, it provides detailed maps of its streets, geographic coordinates at specific points, traffic monitoring, directions for car journeys and walking.

But the information available to him is insufficient. For example, unlike the United States, Canada, and some European and Asian countries, Peru, speed limit data is poor and bicycle travel information is not available. This mainly affects the time estimates to be carried in navigation mode.

In the case of information on speed limits, Google Maps explains on its developer page that "the function is available in the region, with data quality or approximate availability". Although cycling directions are not available in the area or your data is of very poor quality.

Only a few countries have Google Maps coverage with as much detail as possible. The quality and quantity of information available about them makes it possible to take advantage of their good news, such as the new Explore tab, for example. This group includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and several European countries such as France, Germany or Switzerland.

Recently, countries that were able to obtain their local network recently in Google Maps are Andorra, the Bahamas, Malta, San Marino, the Virgin Islands and Vietnam. While the service has lost data quality in Venezuela, Ghana, Laos, Mauritania, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia and Sierra Leone.
