I’ve been getting a lot of ‘suggested’ locations and sponsored pop ups in Google Maps the few weeks. I get that it’s a ‘free’ product, but ugh. My GPS while I’m driving down the highway is one of those things that really, really needs to be clutter-free.

It is by no means free tho. They are making lots of money from selling your location data and furthering their market dominance by forcing it on everyone by default
