Example use cases

When you like Google Maps for finding places, but you prefer a different app for navigation, you can easily switch from Google Maps to your favorite navigation app.

How it works and privacy considerations

GeoShare converts map links (e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/...) into geo: links that can be opened by other map apps. To create a geo: link, geographic coordinates are required. GeoShare reads them from the map URL.

However, not all map URLs include coordinates. In such cases, GeoShare will prompt you for permission to connect to the map service (Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.) and read the coordinates from HTTP headers, HTML document, or an API. For more detailed information, check the app’s FAQ screen.
