Original toot in Spanish says: “OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip.”

    I’ve been getting ads in the search results on the iOS version of Google Maps for a while, super irritating.

      Apple Maps used to be absolute rubbish but it’s extremely excellent now. It even tells ya when there’s a speed trap up ahead, and it’s been correct 75% of the time for me.

        I’ve been meaning to give it a try, but I only ever think of it when I’m already driving, which is probably among the worst possible times to learn a new interface

          Fair! It was a bit of adjusting to me, turns look closer overall. But it do love that it vibrates my watch when I get close to a turn (I never use voice.)

          It’s so much better than when I first used it, it looks nice now, it has all of the janky addresses I’ve tried, and the watch thing is nice.
