I have links that go to Google Maps, but now since Apple updated to their own service my iPhone goes to the Google Maps website. Is there a way in HTML to show the Apple Maps link, when it's iOS6, and show the Google Maps link for all other devices. I am using ASP.NET MVC.

It works in Windows and Chrome OS, and with the DuckDuckGo app, you can even access Apple Maps on Android. Apple Maps in a browser works in the same way as Google Maps does. Whenever you search for anything, you'll see a Maps tab above the results.
Apple Maps is exclusive to Apple hardware — iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. It's built into all Apple-branded devices, even Macs. It's not available on devices outside the Apple ecosystem. Google Maps is a cross-platform service, made available on Android, iOS, iPadOS, web browsers, and so on.
Google Maps is the clear winner for the amount of data present and available. It sources its vast collection of information gathered from businesses, websites, users, and more. Apple Maps has a lot of data too, but even if it uses crowdsourced data similar to Google, it isn't sourcing from as many locations.
The solution is even easier than that and won't require any conditional statements:
So at this point, all you need to do is include the Apple Maps link and it should work as expected on non-iOS devices.
I mentioned this in a recent post that also touches on whether the same parameters can be used.
