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.

Version 2.1 — Location History
ForceMaps 2.0 brought a complete rewrite of our link detection engine for faster, more reliable redirects. Now 2.1 takes it further with Location History.
What's New:
• Location History — Every address and direction you open through ForceMaps is now saved in a dedicated History tab. Search past locations, sort by date or name, and tap to reopen in Apple Maps or Waze.
• Swipe to delete individual entries or clear everything at once.
• History updates in real-time — no need to refresh.
Privacy First:
• All location history is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to any of your data. Your history never leaves your phone.
Improved in 2.0+
• Completely rewritten redirect engine — more accurate interception with fewer false positives.
• Call, Website, Share, and Save buttons are no longer accidentally intercepted.
• Faster redirects to Apple Maps and Waze.
