Description
Intercepts Google links in Safari and opens them in Apple . It detects addresses, coordinates, or directions from links and redirects them to the default navigation without prompts.
Stop being redirected to the Google Maps app. Maps Redirect automatically converts Google Maps links to your default maps app, so you can use your preferred navigation app.
WHAT IT DOES
When you click a Google Maps link in Safari, this extension intercepts it and opens the same location or directions in Apple Maps instead. No more "Open in Google Maps" popups.
HOW IT WORKS
• Click any Google Maps link on the web
• The extension detects the address, coordinates, or directions
• You're instantly redirected to Apple Maps
• That's it! No extra steps required
SUPPORTED LINKS
• Google Maps place links
• Google Maps directions
• Google Maps search results
• Short links (goo.gl, g.co, g.page)
• All regional Google domains (google.co.uk, google.de, etc.)
PRIVACY FIRST
• No data collection whatsoever
• No analytics or tracking
• No network requests, everything happens on your device
• No account required
• Open source logic, nothing hidden
WHY FREE?
I built this because I was frustrated with Google Maps constantly pushing me to download their app. There are paid alternatives, but I believe a simple utility like this should be free for everyone.
SETUP
1. Open Settings → Safari → Extensions
2. Enable "Maps Redirect"
3. Allow access for Google domains
4. Done! Google Maps links will now open in Apple Maps
