fixed that for you.
When someone clicks an address in an imessage or email it will open in Apple maps, when someone uses Siri to get directions, it opens in Apple Maps. No default apps cause then Apple can't force people to use Apple Maps.
And Apple doesn't provide copy and paste or anyth8ng for you to use with any other maps, right? And you have to use Siri, right? Apple doesn't force you to use their mapping solution.
Looking awesome to me... my favorite new feature is the simple thing to look ahead on your route... it's always been frustrating why you couldn't control the map view more while in-route. I like to know what's coming so I'm prepared and the overview is usually too general. Can't wait for this update.
I would like to see a way for users to make improvements and suggestions to Apple maps. There's a lot of one ways that are wrong in my city of Baltimore.
Yes. This dynamic routing have been a feature of Apple maps for some time now. It says something like "there is traffic jam ahead" here is an alternate route that can save you 10 minutes during your commute, then it offers the route. The user can accept it or stay the course of the current route.

Lol. No emotional connection, just having fun supporting the advancement of all technologies in my iOS devices. So they more they add and improve upon, the better I will enjoying using my purchased items or service. Go team go! Update updates update! Yeah. Cheers. Lol.
Hope this changes.

It does. If you had the option of installing and defaulting any map app when you set your device up, I really wonder how many would stick with Apple Maps. There would be a likely significant migration away from AM.
Hope this changes.

Or maybe AM is a good enough solution for most?
Nah, that doesn't fit into your narrative.
It could be good enough. If Apple hadn't made it the defect default I highly suspect it would have died long ago.
My narrative is very simple / basic: If it isn't better/safer why would I use it?

I have the option to switch to Waze or google maps… but Apple Maps works perfectly well for my needs so I gladly use it without reservations. My directions and navigation are always correct, and with the new "avoid tolls and highway" feature coming in ios10, I'll be pretty much set. Those were only two things I needed. For multiple destination, I use inRoute app, until apple builds in multi destination stops or InRoute have better app extension sharing with Apple Maps. I don't do multiple stops enough for this to be an issue.

Good question. If it isn't good for you, the App Store has google maps.
When 10 comes out I will give it another try. Be interesting to see how it has improved.

and I use it. Tried Waze however I found it not as good as GM when I travel.
Yeah. Waze was good but now it's horrible but it's have inertia and nostalgia going for it, so people thinks it's good. Kinda like the uber factor, where Lyft is better but all people think is uber. Lol
I use Apple Maps all the time, and aside from a couple of mistakes in its earliest versions, it has been great. Can't wait for the new iOS.
@MacRumors, btw en route is pronounced like "on root."

No, it doesn't. It's hopeless.
I remember when it didn't have train stations. Apple doesn't get the rest of the world.
