        Kind of.

        They’re not in your face. But they make sure their sponsors show up on the maps with custom pins

      Sundar Pichai: “Huh, well I guess we’ll just follow Tim Apple’s lead and start injecting ads in google maps and anyone who uses google maps API too.”

        There are already ads in Google Maps, there is nothing for them to follow.

          What? Where are they? Maybe it depends on the region…
