Map Switcher App in form of a streamlined iOS-share-extension. There are many good apps for navigation and map display. Unfortunately, it's currently not possible to exchange locations between different map apps. However, most apps offer the option to share a location. And that's precisely where this app comes in. You share a location and then select the "OPEN LOCATION" action provided by this app. EXAMPLE USAGE: I found a point of interest on Google Maps or Yelp. I share it via the "OPEN LOCATION..." action. Then I choose e.g. 'TomTom', because this might be my favorite app for car navigation. Or I could choose 'UBER' to order a ride. Or maybe 'Outdooractive' to hike to this location. Et cetera, etc... Everyone should be able to find good use of combining his/her existing apps with each other in new ways. SUPPORTED DATA TYPES: - contacts (vCard) - geo-tagged photos & movies - geo: links - GPX waypoints - ICS / ICAL events - KML placemarks - Plus Codes - textual coordinates - Wikipedia pages SUPPORTED APPS: - Apple Maps - Citymapper - CoMaps - Direkto - Google Earth - Google Maps - Guru Maps - here - Komoot - Lyft - Magic Earth - MapOut - maps.me - Organic Maps - OsmAnd Maps - Outdooractive - Pocket Earth - Scenic Motorcycle Navigation - Sygic - TomTom Go - UBER - Waze - What3Words - Wigemo - Yelp
