Mapper for Safari

Mapper is a Safari extension that redirects Google Maps links and map elements into Apple Maps.

Our take

Consider it if you search in Google but want to navigate in Apple Maps without copying addresses.

It can route directions buttons and map thumbnails in addition to ordinary links.

Keep in mind: It needs to be enabled in Safari. Some links first use the Google Maps web app as a fallback.

What you can do

  • Open map links in Apple Maps
  • Send addresses or directions from Google search pages
  • Use the listed fallback when a link cannot be resolved directly

Good for

  • Safari users who prefer Apple Maps for navigation

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone using another browser or wanting the opposite redirect

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.0.
  • It needs to be enabled in Safari. Some links first use the Google Maps web app as a fallback.

Privacy & permissions

The developer says it scans Google pages for map links and does not store personal or location information.
