Ads and always takes time loading maps

There are intrusive ads and whenever I start the app, it hangs with the message updating maps. Really? If I cant use the app when I want then whats the point of the update. If you want to make this a better app-
1. Provide a way to remove the ads
2. Update of map should be user initiated and not when app is starting up.
