I've been getting little bubbles for store/restaurant logos popping up on the map for about a month as I drive, and I assumed that's what it was. So every time I see one, I make a point to not eat/go there for awhile just out of spite.

Yeah that's just unsafe. You're gonna make me have to reroute my GPS while I'm driving? No thanks.

Crazy watching Google kill themselves in real time.

Remove the detour by drinking a verification can

It’s too bad androidauthority doesn’t think the “reject all” cookies rule applies to them.

Popups while driving? With buttons that have to be pressed for it to go away? What could possible go wrong diverting the attention of a driver this way?!

Can my steet gang put in some of these ads? Only to high end luxury automobiles?

Why not? Their global emissions are already skyrocketing due to AI hype. Fuck the planet, let's make more money this quarter!!!

And i thought it was bad when the gps says to make a right at the starbucks instead of using the street name.

Google also notices a spike in Google searches for "alternative to Google maps"...ignores it.
