Hey Google, leave us alone for once
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

Well, Waze has been presenting ads to drivers for couple of years so I believe they measure it and have data improving it works though I've never clicked those ads (and I'm a Waze user for couple of years now since the beginning) I did clicked sponsored business ads appearing in search results (for example Gas stations) - I think this real estate is very effective because in this case the driver is not driving (hopefully..)
announcements while you are driving? or did I understand wrong?

@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?
@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
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.

New and platforms to test. Is my version of Christmas.
What can I spend pennies on and make dollars?🤔
Did they change a few things on my waze like going to settings and changing my navigation options, it wasn’t broke and as they say if it’s not broke don’t fix it, another thing, if I turn around after leaving a driveway it takes waze too long to catch up making me go the wrong way, fix this please
Love this app. Found it by accident and since then I only use this app for navigation. Dumped Google since I found it. I like its simplicity and clear instructions on navigation. I don't use or need any other feature than just navigation and clear instructions so it is perfect for me.
