If you thought you were safe from ads with Apple Maps on #ios, it looks like that may no longer be the case soon

https://www.macrumors.com/2025/10/26/apple-moving-ahead-with-ads-in-maps/

Now is a great time to get plugged into a local community contributing data to the Wikipedia of maps, #OpenSteetMap, so you have better map app alternatives: https://osmcal.org/

Please note that not all events are listed on OSMCal. You may need to surf the internet to find whatever haunt your local group uses be it MeetUp, Peatix, and so on.

There is an absolutely amazing app that makes it super easy to find and fill in missing data: StreetComplete. It’s in the process of being written from Android only to multiplatform. Yes, this means #LinuxMobile support too! So you can help financially expedite things as well: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421#issuecomment-2849221573

Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App

Apple Maps could feature integrated ads as soon as next year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. In his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that Apple's plan to bring more ads to iOS is moving "gaining traction," with the Maps app being next in line. The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search.
