Take on Google Maps redesign by former designer – what could be better?

i imagine that the current setup drives more ad views than what this tweet proposes : (

it's a sad thing i notice in so many sites and apps that the tiny chance of getting some money out of the small % of people who click the pop up ad or choose to sign up for the email list or whatever incentivizes the company to provide a worse user experience for the rest of the users

edit: i guess context matters though. if i'm driving with my phone on the dash, having a one click "gas station" button is pretty nice. in an ideal world, the phone would determine when im driving and only show the button then
