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

Apple Maps sure had a rough start back in the day, but I will always use that over Google/Waze. It’s just so much better now and no worries about this type of junk.

Apple Maps fuckin sucked ass at first, now it hasn’t failed me in years.

You’re completely right. I won’t use any other map thing now.

RIP MapQuest
