Original toot in Spanish says: "OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip."

Anyone seen this? One post from one user with no verification behind it seems like nothing to get upset over.

Nope, but I did move from Waze to Google Maps and now settled on Apple Maps because of increasing enshittification and ad bloat.

Ah, good choice - instead of waiting for the company to become increasingly enshittified, you went with the already 100% completely shit company.
