So glad to have #Apple Maps

Google Ads, the bane of our existence ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
So evil ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Just what we need, more distractions while driving ๐Ÿค”

Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour

โ€œ#GoogleMaps is testing a new ad format that could cause distractions while driving. It brings up a pop-up notification during #navigation that covers the bottom half of the screen with an unnecessary detour suggestion.

According to Higman, the ad popped up while passing a Royal Farms gas station, even though they did not search for a gas station or convenience store while setting their destinationโ€

Example of pop-up Google ad. Just what we need, more distractions while driving.

@drrjv @pixelpartner I can only encourage to give @organicmaps a try. At least in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บEurope the Apple Maps data quality is often inferior to what Organic Maps/ @openstreetmap has.
