How to Join Proto Mapper Beta on iOS
About Proto Mapper
Mapper opens Google Maps links, directions, addresses, and map thumbnails from Safari directly in Apple Maps, so you can stop copying and pasting addresses.
Key features:
- Redirect Google Maps links, addresses, direction buttons, and map thumbnails directly to Apple Maps.
- Support every Google domain (google.com, .co.uk, .ca, etc.) on iOS and macOS.
- Smart fallbacks: if Mapper can’t resolve a link, you’ll land on the Google Maps web app and then automatically redirect to Apple Maps.
- Zero data collection: Mapper only scans for map links on Google search pages and never stores personal or location data.
How it works:
- Install Mapper and enable the extension in Settings → Safari → Extensions.
- Browse to Google in Safari.
- Tap any map link, directions button, or thumbnail.
- Mapper grabs the address or search term and opens Apple Maps with a single tap.
Mapper is built and maintained by a solo indie developer, ensuring it stays lightweight, reliable, and up-to-date. If you love Mapper, please consider leaving a rating or review. For questions or feedback, tap the Contact link within the Mapper app.
