Honestly, if I want to find a local bicycle shop, and apple maps can help me find one without being obnoxious, then im okay with it as long as they don't share any data about me with the bicycle shop. I want to shop locally and support my local businesses, rather than shop online.
"Stuffing ads into the Maps app" makes it sound evil, even if we have no idea how it's going to look.
