Restore Google Maps on Search is a simple Chrome extension designed to bring back the Maps feature directly within Google search results. Due to recent European legislation that limits Google's promotion of its own products, the Maps button vanished for many users in the EU, making route planning less convenient. This extension circumvents these restrictions by adjusting the search region to Andorre, restoring quick and effortless access to Google Maps with a single click.

The extension is open source, lightweight, and requires no complicated setup. It aims to improve your daily navigation experience by re-enabling fast access to maps straight from your search page. Whether you're planning commutes or exploring new places, Restore Google Maps on Search ensures seamless map access despite regulatory changes. The source code is available for transparency and community contributions.
