likely illegal actions by Apple (Apple Maps hardcoded in Calendar functions)

[leonremi]

I just noticed that even if you set another navigation app as default (in my case I set up the "Here we go"), the Calendar will still send you to Apple Maps.

And it"s the same if using a third party Calendar (I tried with Calendar 366). So it appears to be blocked on the OS level.

Also, if I set "Here we go" as the default navigation app the and remove Apple Maps, the Calendar will pretend that I have no navigation maps installed.

I'm in the European Union.

Can this be considered as malicious compliance on Apple's part?

Do you know who I should contact in Europe so this is addressed?

There is nothing malicious or illegal about not getting around to it yet. And it's not blocked just because it was ignored. Report it in the feedback app to Apple and it might get addressed in iOS 27 (enter the following URL in Safari:
applefeedback://). Apple is going to take years until they meet all the things they are being asked to do, but they are making slow, steady progress. Apple has already told the EU that the DMA will create feature delays.

The Digital Markets Act’s impacts on EU users

Apple explains how the Digital Markets Act is forcing the company to make some concerning changes to how it designs and delivers Apple products to its users in Europe.
