Germany’s competition regulator is looking into possible abuses related to how Google operates its Maps product.
Andreas Mundt, president of the FCO, says they have information to suggest that Google may be restricting the combination of its own map services with third-party map services, for example when it comes to embedding Google Maps location data, the search function or Google Street View into maps not provided by Google.
The FCO added that it will be interviewing customers and competitors of the Google Maps Platform as part of the investigation.
