Streetdirectory is back. Woohoo!!
Still the same good old Streetdirectory. The map area is bigger now. And you can drag the map to navigate. YIPPIE! Cool feature!
But it comes with a irritating advertisement.
Smack in the middle of the map when you are using it. And you have to click the small little cross in order to continue using the maps.
I know it is expensive to get the new maps and you guys need to recover the cost. But slapping an advertisement in the middle of the map isn’t a good solution. Why not at the bottom of the page and still allows user to continue using the map when the advertisement is showing?

That is call interstitial. Not smack in the middle.

OK with the adv, as long as I get where I want to go.
SLA maps – they sometimes let you wait and wait and then, hang.
