    Pros: 

    What the hell

    Cons: 

    As it's a GPS, it seems clear that:

    - Ads won't have any impact for businesses

    - It might distract the driver

    - We don't want ads anyway

    If waze needs money, just make a premium offer that gives more features to the one who pays, you'll be rich enough in no time.

    Hey Google, leave us alone for once

    Pros: 

    waze starts making ad money

    contextual ads based on journey

    discover hidden gems

    good for businesses

    Cons: 

    driver distraction potential

    Dope to see Waze finding relevant ways to monetise i think this is a great update that could serve as a gateway to greater things.

@edwardvasquezdr They have ads now that appear when you aren't moving (e.g. at a light they throw on "Hungry? There's a Taco Bell 4 minutes from here"). I assume this is the localized (as opposed to national) version of this?

@karim_t I mean they have to make money, otherwise it is a failed product, right?

@svenvd_zee Of course. But first, they are under the Google umbrella and so I don't think they are strapped for cash. Second, there is an appropriate monetization strategy for every product. These are just my two cents, I would have to look into it in more details. :)

Is this the launch of their self-serve advertising platform? They've been running agency-placed ads in the app forever. Anyone complaining about this ruining the product must not actually use it.

@corey_james_waldin Yea mobile not quite ready for prime time. Was there a press release for this? Or was this a sneak hunt? Maybe they weren't quite ready
