> Google latest Android Map crashes all the times 1-2 minutes into the navigation I haven't had these issues, but I have had significant issues with its performance. 15+ seconds to initialize. At least 3+ seconds needed to swap between transit options. Moving to navigation mode feels sluggish. And this is on a Nexus 6, with no issues with other apps. When I choose "walk" as the navigation mode it puts an Uber route on there, which when selected gives me an ad to try Uber for the first time. I don't have Uber installed on my device. I don't want to take a fucking Uber, I want to see how long it'll take me to walk somewhere! I get the feeling that something happened in the Google org responsible for maps. It was always a snappy app that was useful to me. Now it's slow and appearing to be an avenue for ads on the device that I bought directly from Google. Unacceptable.

That Uber ad was seriously misleading and annoying when I was traveling last month. I wanted to walk across the city. WALK. I get directions, it gives me a route and a time, it seems quicker than I expected, but not by too much. Start moving and look at it while I'm going and realized they wanted me to get in a car. The time it would've taken a driver to get to me, I'd have been halfway to the destination on foot. Don't insert ads into an app in a way that misleads users. You'd be pissed if you opened a book, started reading at Chapter 1 and found that the first 3 chapters you read were just a tease of another book, yours starts on Chapter 4.
