Thank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.

One caveat on that. Sometimes those advertizements include coupons for the locations. As a L5 I would benefit from the "no adverts" and like it, but I've also used at least one of those coupons for the advertized location (I was going there anyway.) Maybe an option that appears in the settings for those <=L3 to make advertizements invis in the general display, but show a highlighted spot at the actual location if you are near it to show there is one and/or a coupon. If I'm going to that place I can select the spot to bring up the displayed information. Otherwise it stays out of the way an un-obtrusive. As an editor I already know where all of the advertized places are so don't need the constant reminders.

I notice that this has been an active suggestion for 5½ years, and 5 years since staff replied to it (and ignored it ever-since.) In that time, there are hundreds (if not thousands by now) of apps that are able to lose data connectivity, continue to function and store data and run with what it has locally, and then resume data send/receive when connectivity (either mobile or wi-fi) is restored without missing a beat of functionality. There is no need to end a session and create a new one once data is restored (making the user pay attention to connectivity state - which is dangerous for a driving app) and lose data from the previous session and/or start everything from scratch. Continuing to hide behind such an excuse - especially with the resources of google at their backs - is only a sign of poor programming skills and/or a lack of pride in product.
