   Well, I went to that link on my default Windows web browser and clicked on   
   "Directions" and then I entered the two locations to get directions for:   
        
     From: 100 Main Street, Redwood City, CA 94063   
     To: 100 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102   
      
   Then I hit "Now" and then "Apply" and it failed to do anything.   
   So it's a Beta for sure.   
   https://beta.maps.apple.com/?saddr=100+Main+St%2C+100+Main+St+Re   
   wood+City%2C+CA+94063+United+States&dirflg=d   
      
   Changing the browser to SRWare Iron, it failed differently, saying:   
    Maps Your current browser isn't supported.   
    https://beta.maps.apple.com/unsupported   
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/120585   
    (See supported browsers.)   
      
   Apparently Apple coders are sophomoric (fancy that) and don't know how to   
   code anything (which, of course, I'm not surprised at since Apple sucks at   
   writing code that works on anything not on the Apple platform itself).   
      
   I don't have Chrome on any platform but I tried it with Firefox.   
        
     From: 100 Main Street, Redwood City, CA 94063   
     To: 100 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102   
   When I hit "Now" and then "Apply", it failed to work even on Firefox.   
      
   It takes only so much to get sick of Apple's sophomoric coding (their apps   
   always seem to have been written by high school kids) so I gave up.   
      
   Not only does it likely not add stops, it doesn't even work without them.   
   --   
   Almost every time I touch Apple software, it proves to be utter garbage.
