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.
