Apple Maps will suggest alternate routes if that makes sense, and you 
can tap to select among them, but it doesn't allow you to arbitrarily 
change the route the way Google Maps does (on the web at least).

However, if you need to pass through a specific point, you can always 
add a stop at that location.
