That’s a good point, although it seems that this kind of behavior, at least specifically to map apps, is quite common.

Out of curiosity, I opened the Google app in iOS, searched for a place, and tapped on the result to open a map. Even with the default app set to Apple Maps, it goes straight to Google Maps.

I haven’t been able to find the correct MIME type or URL protocol for a generic geo call, either, which makes me suspect that there is more to it than it seems.

Google specifically handles all links in its apps so that they go to the corresponding google app if possible.
