Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.

I smell reVanced Gmaps coming soon…
Waze works well also.
Edit: I’m getting a lot of down votes and just wanted to clarify that I have never seen an ad in Waze.
I 100% believe people saying there are a lot of ads. I think the way that I have my phone setup is why I’m not getting ads.
Will definitely have to look into the others mentioned here.
Also owned by Google, so this change might make it over
The article mentioned this ad format showed up in Waze first.
Oh fuck me
OsmAnd is getting there tho.
Waze has plenty of ads in it though
Really? I’ve never actually noticed one.
Maybe because of the ad blocking stuff I use on my phone.
I will say that I’ve noticed less ads lately than I have in the past, so it may have been toned down after some backlash. I will start using openstreetmap only in the near future though, I can’t stand this type of thing
