iPhone app + Maps app Driving Directions feature integration

[+exmachina]

I would love a feature in the iPhone app on iOS6 that would allow one to select a cache and then have Siri provide driving directions. Ideally to parking waypoints when provided.

 

Now that I think about it, other Siri-powered functions would be very helpful, say we activated Siri and asked:

 

"Find nearby caches"

"Find nearby virtual caches"

"Find nearby traditional caches"

"Find new caches"

 

Etc.

 

Thanks!

It used to do this (pre-iOS6) when you would click "View on External Map" (it would launch Google Maps). Since iOS6 switched to Apple Maps, this functionality doesn't work anymore. I would consider this a bug that they should fix in the next iteration (i.e. clicking "View on External Map" should launch Apple Maps with the cache location pinned).

It would be cool if there was a way to simply click on "VIEW ON EXTERNAL MAP" and then select the TomTom app as navigation tool for example.
