    Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour (Update)
    www.androidauthority.com
    external-link
    Google Maps is testing a new ad format that gives users the option to add a stop for a sponsored location during navigation.

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

    Edit/update from 9to5google so this post does not spread what is apparently inaccurate information: https://9to5google.com/2024/07/08/google-maps-pop-up-quick-detour-ad/
