Using Maps URLs, you can build a universal, cross-platform URL to launch Google Maps and perform searches, get directions and navigation, and display map views and panoramic images. The URL syntax is the same regardless of the platform in use. You don't need a Google API key to use Maps URLs.

Go to the Compass app. It will show your current location and GPS coordinates. Apple Maps can give your current longitude and latitude. NOTE: Siri gives you the same information but with fewer steps.

In those early days, Apple's Maps had problems, from missing to mislabeled places to a lack of basic features like turn-by-turn directions. These features were eventually added, but they were not good. I remember asking the app for a route and seeing immediately that it had added absurd detours, for example.
