It doesn’t seem to support Firefox or mobile browsers, at least not.
Maps on the web is compatible with these web browsers
On your Mac or iPad
- Safari
- Edge
- Chrome
On your Windows PC
- Edge
- Chrome

I really hope they will release an Android app :)
OrganicMaps already exists :p
i’m confused… apple maps wasn’t available on the web? you’ve been able to send apple maps links forever, and they’ve had an embedding api where you could embed apple maps into web pages :/
I’m confused, because doesn’t Duckduckgo Maps already use Apple Maps?
Kagi Maps has it as an option too. And it works on Firefox. 🤷
I didn’t know Kagi had a maps functionality. It’s interesting, but I couldn’t find a way for it to tell me public transportation directions, the only reason I keep using Google Maps…
Yeah I can only find driving directions. I’ve come across other apps over the years but only ones on Google Play Store. I don’t think I’ve seen any mobile apps that are open source and do my region.
Tee hee. Not supporting iPhone? Yes it has an app …. I just find that really funny.
Safari and (chromium) browsers. Huh
Ah come on! Why no Firefox support?!?
I get it. It’s still beta, and we’re only like 2% of the market. Makes sense not to worry about us yet.
2% and shrinking with every major service that isn’t compatible
Not compatible with Firefox is the fastest way to know they don’t follow web standards. On brand.
I dislike Apple more than most people, and they are indeed terrible with standards in general, but with web standards they’re doing the world a bit of a favour by pushing WebKit (based on KHTML) on all its users. WebKit is open source and used in for example GNOME Web.
Had it not been for Apple nobody would give a shit about creating websites that work outside of Chrome.
I just tried it on a Firefox fork on Android. Works fine if you spoof the useragent.
I hate that bs
For people like me who thought they have to hack into the Pentagon to spoof their Browser data: you can do that by using chameleon, an extension thats at least in the Firefox add on page
🤷♂️ It’s in beta, so I wouldn’t assume that support won’t get added.
I would. Apple has a long history of intentionally crippling its services on Firefox.
For a while Apple artificially blocked signing in to your Apple ID with physical passkeys (like a Yubikey) on Firefox even though the browser supported it just fine.
Their “iCloud for Windows” browser extensions didn’t support Firefox either last time I checked (needed for syncing bookmarks and the password manager).
@davel In my area Apple Maps is usually better than Google Maps.
I remember when Apple Maps was a joke. These days it’s just simply better than google maps. Never thought I’d say that.
@ThirdWorldOrder Same, I remember trying it early on and it was awful
That happens a lot to Google products.
They managed to import OpenStreetMap data
lol, I didn’t even know that it wasn’t available on the web.
Trade one master for another. All these companies have the same playbook on a slightly shifted timeline.
…profit?
„tired of sucking one Multimillion Dollar companys balls? Just Suck the balls of another!“
If you wanna degoogle, https://www.openstreetmap.org is the way to go.
For your phone:
https://organicmaps.app
https://osmand.net
https://www.magicearth.com (proprietary, with traffic info)What is this shit?
Oh wow another proprietary maps service that uses opensource data that’s years late! wow amazing!
Can’t open it because I’m on Linux and Firefox.
It won’t open in Brave on Linux either.
Seems like they developed it for specific browsers.
Seems like they
developed it forarbitrarily locked it down to specific browsers using the user agent.Seems like I won’t be using their bullshit.
As others have said. Just use opensteeetmaps.
They’re the best (even for hiking)
