I have never seen these, but I wouldn't answer them if I did. Does it not give you a way to just use the map instead?

Oh, it's not something you have to do, and never prevents you from using the map. I think it comes up as an Android notification like "help people by answering a few questions about the places you visited."
I like to help people, so I tried it out for a while. I would probably still be answering questions if they didn't make it so annoying! :-)
The UX here is one of the worst I've ever seen. Once you tap an answer you don't get a chance to change it, or even see what the question was you just answered. It's on to the next question.
Many of the questions are insane. Like "Safeway: can you buy meat here?" Hello? Safeway? It's a giant supermarket!
But one design feature constantly leads me to giving wrong answers: every card is a different color, even for questions about the same establishment.
These frenetic color changes overpower the actual business name, so it's easy to get in a rhythm of "Safeway: can you buy meat here? Yes. Can you buy paper towels here? Yes. Can you get an oil change here? No, of course not!"
Oops, what? Did that card say Safeway or Jiffy Lube? Well the card's gone now, no way to go back and check it or fix it.
The color changes are a distraction from feeling confident which business you were answering a question about. With the lack of undo, they make me feel stupid. I like software that makes me feel smart.
