How to Open a Google Maps Link in Apple Maps
Short answer
Paste the link into the converter below, tap Convert, then Open in Apple Maps. It handles place, pin, short and directions links. On an iPhone with iOS 26 or later, you can also share the link straight to the GoToAppleMaps app.

Where to find them
What about an iOS Shortcut?
We don't publish Shortcut steps we haven't tested: Google uses several link formats, and a Shortcut has to handle all of them. The app's share extension does the same job from the share sheet.
Which links work
| Your link | What you get |
|---|---|
| Place link | ✓ That place |
| Short link (maps.app.goo.gl) | ✓ Resolved, then converted |
| Coordinates (/@lat,lng) | ✓ That exact spot |
| Search link | ✓ The same search |
| Directions link | ✓ The final stop |
| Link from Facebook or Instagram | ✓ Unwrapped, then converted |
| Saved list or My Maps | ✗ Use the file converter or the app |
| share.google link | ✗ Share it from Google Maps instead |
FAQ
Does this work with Google Maps short links?
Yes. The converter resolves maps.app.goo.gl and goo.gl/maps links first, then converts the full link.
Can I convert Google Maps directions to Apple Maps?
Partly. Quick Convert converts the final stop of a directions link, not the route. For a multi-stop route, convert each stop separately.
Does it work on iPad and Mac?
Yes. The Apple Maps link opens the Maps app on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On other devices it opens a web map.
What happens to the links I paste?
Converting needs no account. Short links go to our server so it can follow Google's redirect. Links that fail to convert are logged for 14 days so we can fix the parser, and Google Analytics counts visits. Details are on the Privacy page.
