ForceMaps: Skip Google Maps. Open Directions in Apple Maps or Waze Instantly. Tired of Google Search forcing you into Google Maps? ForceMaps is a Safari extension that automatically redirects every address, direction, and location link from Google search results straight into Apple Maps or Waze — instantly, privately, and with zero extra taps. How It Works: When you search for restaurants, businesses, or directions in Safari, Google tries to open its own Maps app or trap you in Google Maps within the browser. ForceMaps intercepts those links and sends them directly to your preferred navigation app. No popups. No detours. Just tap an address in Google and go. NEW: Location History ForceMaps now saves every location you open in a built-in History tab. Search past destinations, sort by date or name, swipe to delete, and tap to reopen — all without leaving the app. Your history is stored entirely on your device. We never collect, transmit, or access your data. Why Users Switch to ForceMaps • Redirect Google Maps links to Apple Maps or Waze automatically • Get directions from Google search results in one tap • Block "Open in Google Maps" and "Sign in to Google" popups • Save and search your location history privately on-device • Hide Google AI overviews and AI-generated content boxes • Smart address detection across all Google search results and domains • Works with businesses that have multiple locations • Choose Apple Maps or Waze as your default map app • Lightweight Safari extension — no background activity, no battery drain • No data collection, no tracking, no accounts ForceMaps is built for iPhone users who prefer the native iOS experience. Skip Google Maps for good. Privacy Policy: https://vennory.com/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://vennory.com/terms-of-use

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Comet at Free against ForceMaps's $4.99. Comet also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7.8K vs 8). ForceMaps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Comet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comet has 7.8K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Comet's written reviews are positive against 75% of ForceMaps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Comet ships an update weekly, ForceMaps monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
