Play an audible ad instead of a visual ad.
The ads are constantly popping up while in motion. When I'm trying to see a turn or exit from the interstate, it's a serious hazard. I've had instances where I have narrowly missed getting into an accident due to traffic being stopped over a hill on the interstate because I was trying to exit a popup to see the exit. I understand that with a free app there has to be a way to market additional functionality and other paid for user submitted information sectors but if it puts the user at risk, that is a serious liability to the user of the app and should really be redesigned not to endanger someone's life. I know there is concern there! There is red text that says don't type and drive. If you care about that, don't block the entire app with an ad for an additional service or company that has paid to have their app ran. Find a new way. Maybe an audible ad? I'd be willing to compromise for that 🤷‍♂️ but clogging the map with marketing while trying to safely navigate to a location is a great deal idiotic and self destructive.
