Help It keeps wanting me to review everywhere I go; how to stop it?

To keep it as simple as possible...

For my second job, I work as a delivery driver. So that precludes needing to keep navigation going to hop from place to place to make my deliveries. My issue/gripe with the Maps application, is that it incessantly wants me to "review" a place like as if I was going there for some special occasion, rather than let me go ahead and navigate to the next destination. Considering this happens on every phone that I have tried using as of late to get through this work, this is definitely a problem with the Maps application. And because Google would rather go bankrupt than admit fault in anything, I find myself having to ask here, in hopes that someone has figured out how to make the app cut that crap out.

So, what do I do to get it to stop being such a prick about letting me just see the maps and get on with it?

It's not a notification persay. It's that every time I am trying to go back to the map to go enter or speak a new address or destination, it's still wanting me to review the last destination. So, I'm not sure that would apply.
Can't say I've had your issue but, I do get notifications when I get to a certain place such as a restaurant or a store....it wants me to review it even though I am not in the map app.

I'll keep searching, but hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Sounds like a very annoying issue for sure :(

Try going into Maps Settings then go to Notifications then Your Contributions and see what is switched on.

In particular, 'Questions about places', and 'Rate and review places'.
