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/

      Are you a mod? Because you’re not on the list in the sidebar. You’re also not on the list of admins on the front page.

          I’m not sure why it wasn’t clear, but I was telling you I have no reason to do what you’re telling me to do. Nor will I.
