Features & Capabilities

Mapper for Safari is a lightweight Safari extension that redirects Google Maps links, addresses, directions, and map thumbnails from Google search pages to Apple Maps with a single tap.

Cross-domain support covers all Google domains on iOS and macOS. If Mapper can’t resolve a link, you’ll be taken to the Google Maps web app and then redirected to Apple Maps automatically. The extension collects no data and is built and maintained by a solo indie developer.

User Reviews

Overall, reviews are mixed: some users say it helps with navigation and find value in the app, but the majority report reliability problems—redirects to Apple Maps fail or default to Google/Waze, with many instances of not working or broken after updates. The app also appears abandoned with months of no updates. A few users appreciate the concept and thank the developers, while privacy concerns are raised by at least one reviewer.
Pros
  • Does what it says
  • Definitely helped me navigate
  • Works great
  • Well worth the price ($2)
  • Thanks for making this!
Cons
  • Fails to open Google Maps links; redirects to Google instead of Apple Maps on many sites
  • Inconsistent and unreliable—often not working or requiring fiddling
  • Links sometimes only open Google or require using Waze; cannot consistently open normal Apple Maps
  • App appears unmaintained or dead; no updates for months
  • Privacy/data collection claim is disputed by users
