Apple has been rumored to be bringing Google-style search advertising to Apple Maps for quite a few years. Those money-making ads will soon see the light of day.
According to sources of Bloomberg on Monday, Apple will make an announcement as soon as March. This will bring ads to search queries within the navigation app, which will operate similar to Google’s advertising system.
