I gave it one star because of having to watch an ad before getting directions. This is pretty unbelievable!!! Now I see in the comments that they will be coming out with a version that you can avoid ads for a price in the near future. Why didn't they offer this option before they automatically changed to forcing the ads on people? To require you to pay to avoid the ads is bad enough, but not notifying people in advance is beyond ridiculous.

It used to be pretty good, then they stuck an ad on the front end that takes up the whole screen. Are you kidding me? Here you are trying to drive and operate the map, and now there is a huge ad that takes up the screen. It stops and prevents you from going any further. This is just going to cause an accident because you are trying to use the map. Get rid of the ad. It is now a dangerous app to use.

App is great. However, something has happened, and now I can not hear the messages from the app over Bluetooth. Have turned everything up and am still barely a whisper. Furthermore, with all the intrusive ads, this app has become absolutely impossible to navigate with.
