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?

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.
