Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.

“Google have borrowed this idea form Waze” doesn’t Google own Waze ?
Have never seen an ad on waze
If you’re using a device or network-wide ad-blocker like I do, then you won’t see them. When I try to use Waze on somebody else’s phone, the ads are unbearable.
Is this a joke?
Half the icons on the screen are Dunkin Donuts or McDonald’s and any time you stop at a light a banner add covers have the screen.
Maybe it is regional?
Must be. All i get are popup exit warnings when sound is off
You don’t see ads if you use Waze on Android Auto
Last I knew, yeah. Google bought them years ago. Moreover, I don’t remember that “feature” being in Waze before Google acquired them. Those ads were the biggest reason I dropped Waze a while back.
"Google has been testing this idea in Waze "
