For anyone Lahaina bound...

TIL that people still use Apple Maps...

The iPhone pushes you to apple maps. You can't change the default program for maps unless you jailbreak your iPhone. If you use chrome I think you have more options but I haven't done that.

Yeah, it helps when you use a 3rd party e-mail client (Edison Mail in my case) and Chrome, as you can set defaults for those things. I highly recommend that route, personally.

The benefit to using safari/Mail is that they sync across the platforms. While Chrome can do this if you use everything under Google, I personally wouldn't want to give Google any more information about me than they already have. But you still can't get Siri to use Google Maps I don't believe without going through extra steps.

Nothing to write home about. It's still one lane in each direction, so you can still be stuck behind some slow poke.
After taking it once, I preferred to go back to the old road, which is much prettier, and less busy now.

I actually like Apple Maps as much as Google maps. While the data from Google is generally a little more current than the TomTom data Apple uses, TomTom is getting better, and the seamless integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem makes up for the small shortcomings in the maps data for me - but that's coming from someone who is 100% vested in the Apple ecosystem in a family with five iPhones (for 4 people), three iPads, six Macs, two Apple Watches, three Apple TVs, one Apple HomePod (that our son bought for his new apartment primarily as a music speaker), and, thankfully, Apple stock to help pay for it all!

I’ve taken the road 4 times over the last week, I’m now an expert!

Nothing to it, is there? I used it every day we were on Maui. I drove Highway 30 through Lahaina town, too. Nice having choices.

I hope that everyone will take the faster road from now on so we can keep enjoying the coastal route we love so much between Ka’anapali to Kihei, Waimea and beyond.

Every time we comment about it how much we like this drive and cannot believe that we are almost level with the ocean but only a few times did the road get wet when we drove it because of a higher surf.
