Great Idea

Too bad it doesn’t work. Tried everything. Would love Maps to be deault instead of Google.

Links from Gmail

I like the app and it works good from safari, however when you click an address from gmail it immediately opens Apple Maps but says “choose destination”.

Doesn't work at all

This app hallucinates and directs me to addresses on the other side of the country. Come on, man.

Hello! I’m sorry to hear Rerouter didn’t work for you. I’ve improved the setup instructions in the latest update that should make using Rerouter much easier. If you still have any issues please feel free to email me anytime at contact@fromshawn.dev. Thanks!

Almost perfect

Hello! Just started using rerouter and had a couple pieces of feedback. In the onboarding flow, it doesn’t tell you to open the extension from the puzzle piece button in the safari address bar and enable the toggle there - I think that’s why folks are leaving the low star reviews. I had similar issues until I found this and it immediately started working.

Additionally, it leaves the open google maps tab behind in safari after bumping you over to Apple Maps. Is it possible (within the limitations of available APIs) to close this tab as part of kicking you over to Apple Maps? That would be a major UX improvement.

Thanks for the great extension!

ps - the submit contact form on your website is broken. It’s claiming the email address is undefined.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve updated the onboarding instructions in the newest update to hopefully make things clearer. I hear you about leaving the tab open, it’s definitely annoying but also not an easy problem to solve. I am working on it though! Thanks again :)

Definitely does not work

Tried everything. Rebooted. Removed Google Maps (which ends up sending you to the google maps website instead of app). Turned the extension on and off a few times. Made sure it’s allowed to all websites. Nothing works. Probably something google has done to prevent this, not sure.

I’m sorry to hear that! If you want, feel free to reach out to me at contact@fromshawn.dev and I can try to get those bugs squashed.

Works perfectly

The app works perfectly. If anyone is having any issues, make sure that, in your settings, you allow permission to the app on all websites. Also, make sure to refresh any preexisting tabs you have open that you want the extension to work on.

Needs Work

Great idea, but does not work seamlessly. In fact, can’t really get it to work at all despite several attempts and explicitly following directions.

Caused high CPU utilization

In Safari 16.1 on MacOS with lockdown enabled in a private window, this extension caused high CPU utilizatoin to the point that some web pages would not load.

Looking for this for a long time!

I've been looking for a way to change Google map locations in Safari to Apple maps for a long time. Where I live, in a borough of NYC, Apple's walking and bike riding directions are SO much better. Google can't even handle the street addresses properly (for example, 124-40 Hillside Ave) — seems like the extra digits confuse Google LOL. This extension lets me see things in Apple Maps and it works flawlessly. If this keeps working when Ventura is availbe, we'll need to have another cup of coffee then. Thanks for this needed extension.

Didn’t work.

Maybe I didn’t do it right. But I followed all the steps to the instructions and it all seemed ok. I use the FarEye app for work and I got tired of using google maps since it’s OS is just annoying. Thought I could use this to help. But no. It also mentions it works best without google maps installed so I uninstalled it. No luck. It simply opens the link to safari. Even after all the settings options it requested to turn on.

I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. I can’t test with that app, but if you could email me one of the Google Maps webpages Rerouter isn’t working with at contact@fromshawn.dev I can try to get this fixed for you!
