As the title implies. Suddenly when people send me addresses, when I click them they no longer open in my preferred map app. They all open in Apple’s Maps.
I went into my Default Apps and the section to change Navigation is now entirely
missing. Even deleting Apple Maps doesn’t allow me to then switch to the app I prefer.
How do I fix this?
You’ll need to install your preferred app and copy and paste the address into the app. You’re welcome to provide feedback directly to Apple about the issue.

Maybe choose 'Safari' to widen possibilities.?
Aspect outcomes vary given choice of portal.
And geo-navigation may be harder to add.
a 'duckduck' Search allows exaggerations too:

for navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze; users in the
US have limited options"

Actually there are options. Depending on the

Variables of Mac vs. iOS device differ widely..
'Freedom' can be impractical broad, nebulous.
{Even so, who really has limit-less freedom?}
I’m free to scream into a bottle and throw it into the ocean too. It would have the same result.
“Default Navigation” missing. I am now forced to use Apple’s Maps app.
