To get rid of advertisements you must turn traffic off. Please note with traffic off you will have no ads but you will also have no traffic updates.
Cheers
Reply #2: Jan 31, 2011, 6:56pm What a pain - talk about causing accidents by forcing users to click on coupons to get rid of them! I have a 1450 LMT and similarly would like to turn off the coupon/advertising bug completely without turning off traffic. Is there a way to remove it?
Seems like this is asking for a lawsuit class action given all the attention to distracted driving these days....

You do not have to touch the advertisements, they will simply disappear after a short while if left alone. They also do not display when following a route, they are what keeps the traffic information free for life so with traffic on there really is nothing you can do to remove them.

Reply #4: Feb 4, 2011, 11:24am I agree with Jack. And yes, Jordan they do appear when following a route. I put in an address for a work site and had coupons popping up disrupting the turn by turns I needed to make. I had to hit the screen back to home and then select recent to find the work address. This is VERY annoying while trying to drive in an unfamiliar town.
