Dear Tp_link,

 

Is it possible go in the future with openstreetmaps? Mapbox isn't really nice nor customer friendly. I would rather support an open source initiative that is even wider used than mapbox.

 

kind regards

Jay

 

I am afraid this is not possible. If you mean to implement the street map in the controller system, which is used for business. This API will be charging us. That increases the cost.

An open source street map is not used for commercial which seems to be exploited by us and disrespects the owner. This has legal risks.

And this will need to be updated if there is a problem. We are not a company that is allowed to map a map. This involves many more considerations and even if we do it, the maintenance would be huge.

And for now, our system is rather closed. Not planning to use too many open-source products. If we want to do a project, we would prefer to develop it ourselves instead of using third-party services, which involves cost considerations and legal risks.
