Universal Google Maps lets me search for “Mum” - WHY doesn’t Apple Maps..?!

[DeepIn2U]

I just tried this with several names in my contacts.
Went to maps and searched for first or last name.
They all appeared though none were on top.
It always showed closer matches first.
I guess that makes sense.
It's pretty rare to need directions to someone on my contacts list.
I either know where they live or don't go there often.

not necessarily. Say you’re coming from a different location but there is traffic or you prefer a bike route (coming eventually), a street is down. Not every lives in an area where multiple direct routes on major streets is possible. Sometimes looking up alternative routes is helpful.

I can search for my mother directly in Maps. So for you … check the following:

full name of your mom,
Full address is in your mum’s contact,
Tell Siri your mum is “mum”
Maybe even set kickname for you mommy as “mum” (no quotes of course. Save. Close both wait a minute retry.

As I mentioned later in the thread, I was just testing to help the OP. I didn't actually have a need to do this.
