I stopped using it because it was not usable because of the ads.

I just used it twice for a 12 hour trip couple weeks ago and had no ads.

I use it periodically (in Europe) and haven't seen an advert yet?

It depends on where you are driving. If nobody buys ads in your area, then you are probably not seeing ads.

For me the most distraction were the branded pins on the map. Literally ads which hide other places and are distracting.
