Uber has been built directly into Google Maps

Apple Maps already has this feature (you can plug in Open table etc as well). Assuming people still use Apple Maps :-) -- actually I do which is why I know this feature is available.

I had assumed android google maps had this support already and that iOS was behind the time. Not to insult one platform or the other (I'm an iOS user myself) but just you'd think Google would favor their own platform.

Apple Maps is great. Most people seem to assume it's still terrible -- it certainly was at launch time -- but I much prefer it to Google Maps now. As a iPhone app, it's snappier than Google, and I find it renders more legible maps.

Now if only they could default to my primary means of transportation (cycling) when I search for a location.

Hmm, I guess this means I should hold off on updating so I can still price compare with Lyft.

It still lets you see the Lyft price in the app.

Are they going to include other local services?
