How do I get rid of the editors picks in my Maps?
I would like to turn off the editors pics and my iPhone maps app. How do I do that?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
I liked Waze better before Google got a hold of it.

Also wanting to remove them. I set a "My Places" for ease of access for directions and now it is lost below "Editor's Picks" and undoing the value of setting a location for easy access for directions. Favourites can only take so many options before crowding the space. Editor's Picks is in the way. Editor's Picks is also like advertising on the iPhone and I have already paid top money for the system without expecting advertising in iOS. Also, I don't like Siri suggestions or Editor's picks, I also prefer to choose myself and to be crowded with this junk. I find Google Maps awful to use now for all such suggestions, and gutted that Apple Maps is going the same way. At least let us turn this off and tell us how. Thank you.

Oh, and I'd also like to remove/hide Explore Guides. God be with the days when Apple was all about letting users focus on their data rather than trying to put other stuff at them.
