I'm willing to pay for an ad-free version. Google maps are very useful. I don't need it to be free. But ads are poison.
Interesting, you don't think they make enough off your data already? I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I will never pay google a single cent for anything they have to offer, ever.
I'd much rather pay with money than data.
Me too. Problem is, that's not an option. They're taking your data regardless, so if you pay them, you're paying them to take your data.
