Apple Maps down: iPhone directions not working as people can't get around app

Apple Maps down: iPhone directions not working as people can't get around app Apple Maps has stopped working, stopping people from getting around. The maps themselves are actually loading, and the app will look normal initially. But then it becomes clear it can't be used: getting any kinds of directions will bring up an error message. "Directions not available," the text reads. "Route information is not available at the moment."
