I've seen them. The ones I have seen are more like pins on the map for locations that clearly say Ad on them.

I've seen this in search results where there is a promoted top result. I've never seen it while navigating, and I use it daily.

A quick search confirms that they do exist so I wonder if they're not rolled out, or potential non legal, in Europe.
