Google Maps sucks now. It's full of ads, pop ups, etc cluttering the interface. Also- why are we asking drivers to report things while they're supposed to be driving?
The experience while driving with Android has gotten terrible. In 2013 everything worked, now we are moving backwards.
It must depend on the countries. In Europe I have never seen a pop-up or ad in Google Maps.
I can hardly imaging what this would actually be like - maybe the kind I saw in Waze where local stores are advertised as being at x minutes away without being asked?
When I open Google Maps, I see a map of my current location and at the bottom I see, "Latest in <your town>" which shows photos people took of local businesses and food. These are ads. What does a picture of somebody's meal have to do with navigation?
Ah, this. Yes, I have it too on the Maps main interface (though it is just a line I can expand). The important thing (at least for me) is that it is not present during navigation.
'Pop up' here is referring to notifications like 'we found a faster route, press X to stay on the current route' and other such annoyances despite putting the thing in a mode where it knows I'm driving.
