one of the big players hasn't tried to offer some sort of premium map subscription

Would we have to lose these great features?

No, you would just have to start paying for the maps. They'd never do something so cursed as to take that away from you!

Ads are the least of Google maps problems. They are terrible at detailing lesser known roads. Google maps are good at car navigation and commercial POIs, but for things like hiking they are awful. It kind of baffles me, because they could have the most detailed maps if they would use location data. If 100 devices passed certain spot, there most likely is a road.

Or a traffic jam!

hehe yeah, do you think they at least adjust routes to commercial points of interest if 1000 people navigate somewhere and e.g. always stop a block away from where the map said? or always make a right when the map told them to take a left (but the city planted a tree there)?
