It's a label on the map, like a road name. It may be unwelcome, but it's not dangerous.

Depending on the place name and how obnoxious the popup is, it may be yet another thing for someone to be reading at a bad time, which could cause a collision.
With road signs and billboards, the road is still in your peripheral vision, but with many car/cupholder mounts you have to look down enough to where you can't really react to a car coming at you from the left or right.
