"What the fuck you gonna do? Use Android?!??! Fuck you and and be happy about it" - Tim Apple, probably
Doesn’t Google Maps have ads?
Kind of.
They're not in your face. But they make sure their sponsors show up on the maps with custom pins
I don't know. Probably.

There are already ads in Google Maps, there is nothing for them to follow.
