No matter what platform you use, or how long you use it for, the worst thing about it is almost always the advertising. It might be the worst piece of garbage in the world, but a free piece of garbage definitely beats one littered with ads. Unfortunately, Google Maps and Waze have been suffering from this particular blight for a while, and Apple Maps might finally join the party.
There have been reports that Apple has been considering putting ads in Apple Maps for a while, going back to at least last February. But according to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple might even announce the change before the end of the month — with the first ads appearing in the summer. That doesn't give us much time to enjoy an ad-free Apple Maps experience.
