Open any place in your preferred map app. Share or paste a map link, coordinates, or a location code. Map Switch finds the place, previews it on a map, and creates links for compatible services. Supports Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps, HERE WeGo, TomTom, and many more apps. Use DD, DMS, and DMM coordinates, plus UTM, MGRS, Plus Codes, Geohash, and other geographic formats. History lets you find, rename, and reopen recent conversions. You can also copy coordinates or share a place as text or a customizable map card. No account and no tracking. Some short links may require a connection to the service that created them.
Waypoint
Read full descriptionHide full description
Like a video game quest marker, but for the real world. Drop a waypoint on the map, then the needle will lead the way. Looking for that cool tree you found on your hike? No more “I think it was over there somewhere”, just drop a waypoint! You can see all your waypoints on the map, and even in AR too!
