Last week I was driving and a popup from apple music to accept more terms and conditions showed up on top of Maps.

It was a tense 25 minutes of interchanges without nav before traffic was clear enough to deny the terms, and I purged the app and cancelled the subscription afterward.

Did it block the audio from your maps app, too?

If your nav audio is muted when the popup appears, you can’t unmute it until the popup is cleared.

I don't know because I don't drive with turn-by-turn audio.

For the record, I actually like Maps for driving. I find the level of detail just right for how I use it.

My main complaint happens when you are not driving: if you let it have access to your location, Maps is constantly resetting your pan/zoom if the app becomes inactive. So on MacOS I block location, but a phone has to have your location for nav of course.
