Oct 18, 2015 8:49 AM in response to Paul Larkinby Harry020131,Hi Paul,
there's an easy way to bounce out of Maps and into your preferred navigator. Here's how:
Step one: Open an address in Apple Maps as you normally would.
Step two: Tap the car icon to start the routing process.
Step three: Tap Apps in the route-selection menu.
Step four: Tap Route next to whatever installed navigation app you want to use.
And that's it! It's not quite as seamless as changing the default, but it's certainly easier than entering an address manually in your map app of choice. What's more, you also get a list of App Store options, just in case you need something more suitable than what's already installed.
As you may recall, iOS 7 offered a similar tweak, though it required you to choose the Bus option. That would connect you with installed apps offering public-transit directions. In iOS 8, it's a little more straightforward.
However, the underlying code apparently hasn't changed that much, because if you choose Google Maps, it will load the app with Bus as the default mode of transport. (Just tap car or another option to change it.)
Thank you
