Hello J1SG70,

We understand that you're looking to use Maps for directions. When searching in Safari it will use your default search engine. You can change this at Settings > Safari > Search. If Google is default it will execute searches there.

To get directions in Maps follow this user guide: Get driving directions in Maps on iPhone

Regards.

Hello Drew_7

Thank you for the info. I do prefer the Safari web browser with the google search engine as my main browser. I will use Safari for everything except directions now and have the Firefox App next to it and any time I need directions from a website or anything else, I use Firefox that has one of their web browsers that uses Apple Maps. Apple engineering is aware of this issue, however can they get google to put a option to either use Apple Maps or google maps in Apple Safari with their search engine is anyones guess
