Yeah, intentionally making a service or product worse to force feed obtrusive ads isn’t the only way companies can make money from it. Once they start doing that it becomes an ad platform that sometimes offers a service, rather than a service that has ads.
Nobody is stopping you. Go ahead and buy a Garmin.
I’d make a 100 bet, you question the people in this thread 75%+ of them have no experience buying an atlas for $20 a year and would scoff at the price of buying new maps every year.
We already lived through this shit when GPS became common in the early 00s and EVERYONE bitched about paying for new maps.
And this kind of bullshit is why I stopped using anything Google, or at least heavily ad blocked like YouTube.
Because they want money for their service?
Go ahead, use MapQuest, I’m sure it’ll be just as good.

Sucking the corporate capitalist chode one ad at a time
Go ahead, pay for a shitty Garmin or Atlas every year. Just another code for you to suck on as well.
You’re not thinking of the other options on a phone you don’t have to pay for
You also come across as a very simple minded ass
Use them then and stop complaining about Google IMO. None of them are nearly as good and that’s why I couldn’t care less about an ad.
