    Yep, after being a huge Apple Maps advocate for years to family and friends, I have quit it completely after I got a pop up introducing new ads.

    Mostly just using CoMaps now, or Google Maps if I need to look up business hours or get traffic info.

    If Apple has ads too then I might as well just use Google for that stuff since at least it’s probably more correct…

      I just installed Google maps after 4 years and man it is shitty with cosntant recommendations and nags too. I just want a map and search and directions. But Apple maps is sooooo shitty at those...

        Try MapQuest. It's basic and has a charming theme
