There are rumors that Apple may introduce ads in its maps: www.ghacks.net/2025/10/27/a...

Google Maps had ads for a long time: support.google.com/google-ads/a...

Is it good or bad that businesses have a way to promote themselves on maps?

Agree, it’s a known issue. We’ll improve it.

Thanks for your support!
