You can even head over to the Maps section directly and then search place by its name. Now tap on Maps filter to open the searched query in Apple Maps.To access the Apple Maps, simply head over to the DuckDuckGo, then search for a place you want to open in Apple Maps.Although, you can also open the website on your smartphone and access the Apple Maps. Here’s a link to a functioning CodePen example if you’d like to experiment or copy the code.If you’re using Android device and want to use Apple Maps, then you can sideload the DuckDuckGo app on your smartphone or tablet for better experience. Desktop users will continue onward to the web app, which is what we want. Android users will start loading the web app and then be redirected to the native app. If our user isn’t on iOS, we let Google decide which version to serve you. iOS will see this and instead open Apple Maps or the iOS version of Google Maps. If it is, instead of using, we will use maps:///. What we are doing first is checking if the device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. How do we do that? And what’s the difference in the two links? Here’s the code. Android users and desktop users can use the standard Google Maps link.

The key to note is that iOS users need a different link. On Android, if we link to Google Maps, Android will open the native app instead of displaying the web app. On iOS, if we use a standard link to Google Maps, our users will get the crappy web app version instead of it opening in Apple Maps. But let’s start basic and worry about Android and iOS only. Depending on your site audience and requirements, we could add more to this function.
