Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.

I’m going to paste here the comment I wrote on another post about this same issue:
Organic Maps and OsmAnd are not adding ads during navigation. Nor “promoted pins”. Nor ads when browsing the map. Nor tracking your every move.
Seriously, give them a try. And remember that, if the maps are lacking information, you are free (and encouraged) to improve them on OpenStreetMap.
But they aren’t providing live traffic congestion, right? That’s the only reason to use Google Maps. Not because of the maps or navigation.
I’m sure congestion info on the maps is valued by some, but not all. Many people just use maps to navigate unfamiliar places.
Then using Google maps is the worst choice. It will algorithmically guide you into the lake
