"Navigate To" for maps...is lost (pun intended)

"OK Google Now.....Navigate to 246 Oak St., San Francisco" brings up a browser page with a web search, not a Google map with directions. In the last month, it seems all I get is a web search. I must be doing something wrong or changed a default setting.
Same results for "Directions to...." or "Find...."
Any ideas?
A priceless service has disappeared.
Thanks

Welcome to Android Central!

This is from Googles support site: You can also try resetting the defaults for Google Now to make sure that the browser want not set to that for navigation. Go to your settings, applications, all apps, go to the Google Search app and clear the defaults. Do that for Maps as well just to be sure its not Maps.

Get directions: "Navigate to Safeway" or "Directions to 1299 Colusa Avenue Berkeley California."

Find nearby places: "Where's the closest coffee shop?"

Plan your trip: "What are some attractions in New York City?"

Look up travel plans: "Show me my flights" or "Where's my hotel?"

Book a table: "Book a table for 2 at Cascal on Wednesday night."
