Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour
Google Maps is testing a new ad format that gives users the option to add a stop for a sponsored location during navigation.
Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.

Apple Maps sure had a rough start back in the day, but I will always use that over Google/Waze. It’s just so much better now and no worries about this type of junk.
Apple Maps fuckin sucked ass at first, now it hasn’t failed me in years.
You’re completely right. I won’t use any other map thing now.
