Hm that sounds cool but on iPhone tapping an address from contacts seems to only go to Apple Maps. Apple permits options for different default apps for a couple different functions (mail, browser, etc) but not for maps :(

Yeah selecting an adress in Android works like a shortcut, you first click 'open in maps' or something and then you choose an app, you can choose to automatically open in a app of your choice. Similar to when you open a file and it asks you what app to use or indeed a url, or an email. But I feel Google is jealous of Apple's monopoly. There is a lot of bad to be said about Google but I like how they never closed it down like Apple did from the start.

Apple does permit to appoint non-apple default apps for maps and navigation(settings > apps > default apps > navigation) or something. Also CoMaps can be selected there. Doesn’t work in combination with the contacts app though 🤬

I think they do have that option in the EU. Can't test it, because I am not :'(.
