Yeah and you used to have to print out the directions on your home PC. You still needed to go to their website which had ads too.
I remember when they talked about breaking up Google and Android, but then they changed their mind when Google said they'd actually start charging ppl for their services instead of making everything free. >

This is a legitimate issue regarding "breaking up" a lot of tech companies. You can use a ton of Google services for free in exchange for seeing some ads. Nobody wants to be responsible for forcing Google to have to charge a subscription for Google Maps for example. >

MapQuest was free before Google came along
