Sponsored Links in the iPhone’s Maps App
I came across something that I had never noticed before today. When doing a search for “Nordstrom Rack” in Chicago rather than finding the closest Nordstrom Rack a different non-pin icon appeared pointing out Nordstrom Michigan Ave as a sponsored link. While I am one of the most understanding that advertising drives the online world, I am upset to see these results take over the iPhone Maps app. The last thing I want to see is the addition of advertisements in a product that I purchased without ads.
What are your thoughts? Should Google be able to see ad revenue from the iPhone’s included, undeleteable apps?
