I’m specifically meaning the traffic mapping and collaborative reporting side of Waze and Gmaps, I know navigation via Comaps is possible but I haven’t seen anything that I can contribute to, to help others with time estimates etc.

    Uh. I suspect those vans probably use an actual logistics system, unless Borat runs your countries restaurant distribution system. Most restaurants here in the US buy their food from Sysco or that other company, there are many smaller distributors also. Those are using a logistics system of some sort.

    Insurance here in the US really likes trucks to go the speed limit. Every medium size business I can think of uses some sort of GPS logistics system to monitor drivers. It’s only shitheads like Amazon and FedEX that have cameras on the drivers (I think the UPS union shot that down) but I know for a fact that all three of those companies have GPS tracking on their trucks.
