Map Redirect is a Safari Extension to replace all map links on a webpage to be opened with the map app of your choice. You can select your target to always open in Apple Maps, Google Maps, HERE WeGo Maps, Bing Maps, Waze.
Map Redirect will automatically redirect you to the maps app of your choice. If you select "Ask Me" a prompt will appear to ask you where to open the link.
Works on Google Search pages and any other webpage. No need to copy/paste addresses anymore.
Instructions:
- Download Map Redirect from the App Store
- Go to Settings -> Safari -> Extensions. Enable Map Redirect as Safari Extension
- Open Safari. Search for location. For example, type London
- Click on Context menu (the symbol "aA"). Click on Map Redirect to give it access to the webpage you are visiting.
- The extension needs to read and alter the web page to change the map links. If asked for access, you may select to allow it for one day or to always allow.
- In the Map Redirect popup, you can select your target. For example: select Apple Maps
- Map Redirect will now scan the webpage for map links and convert them to be opened in Apple Maps.
- Click on any map link
- Map Redirect will now take you to London in Apple Maps
Note:
Map links on websites can appear in various forms with different parameters. Map Redirect tries to detect and convert them as much as possible to your desired target. Therefore, Map Redirect requires permission to read and alter the web page to change the map links. If asked for access, you may select to allow it for one day or to always allow.

Map Redirect does not use any trackers of any sort, nor does it keep, track, sell, rent, or share any information on you throughout your use of the app with any third parties.
