Wait, so if I'm using maps to find something in an emergency, this task can be interrupted by a fucking ad? Not having that shit. I'm glad I switched to Android last year. I did that so I could download apps from the browser like uncensored Telegram, but now I have another reason to never come back to iOS if Apple pulls this crap. Maybe my next tablet could be an Android.

I already get ads on Android Google maps after I have arrived at my destination. It is a slight irritation but it would be far worse if the ads came up at the beginning or randomly.

I hope the ads are not videos, or images that obstruct important information.

They are kind of a popup "things to do in XYZ", not easy to get rid of.

Annoying, but at least they’re not videos.
