Apple Maps - Siri Commands not working in 16.2

Some of the commonly used Siri commands no longer work in iOS 16.2. I often used the commands "Show Route Detail" and "Show Route Overview" when I'm using Apples Maps in CarPlay while driving. Those commands no longer work in 16.2 and you have to touch the screen in order to see the detail. This now makes it very unsafe for drivers to use Apple Maps while driving. Is Apple trying to sabotage itself from making things that actually work? I have the latest iPhone so you would think it would at least work on that. With each day I get closer and closer to jumping to a different brand.

Yup me too, well said WinterForest ...cannot believe they have removed a function that could so impact on driver safety.

I'm adding this to the long list of Apple commands that used to work for me (and that I used on a daily basis) and no longer exist. What possible benefit could there be in cutting this?

Just discovered this.

If I say "Directions to Jim Smith" Siri does a web search.

If I say "Directions to Jim Smith home" Siri finds Jim in my contacts

If I say "Directions to Jim Smith's address" Siri finds Jim in my contacts

Did 16.2 make changes to the Syntax?
