    Because they want money for their service?

    Go ahead, use MapQuest, I’m sure it’ll be just as good.

        Go ahead, pay for a shitty Garmin or Atlas every year. Just another code for you to suck on as well.

          You’re not thinking of the other options on a phone you don’t have to pay for

          You also come across as a very simple minded ass

            Use them then and stop complaining about Google IMO. None of them are nearly as good and that’s why I couldn’t care less about an ad.
