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

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 :/
Ah come on! Why no Firefox support?!?
I just tried it on a Firefox fork on Android. Works fine if you spoof the useragent.
I hate that bs
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).
I get it. It’s still beta, and we’re only like 2% of the market. Makes sense not to worry about us yet.
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.
2% and shrinking with every major service that isn’t compatible
🤷♂️ It’s in beta, so I wouldn’t assume that support won’t get added.
Tee hee. Not supporting iPhone? Yes it has an app …. I just find that really funny.
Safari and (chromium) browsers. Huh
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?
If you wanna degoogle, https://www.openstreetmap.org is the way to go.
For your phone:
https://organicmaps.app (simple, easy to use)
https://osmand.net (more features)
https://www.magicearth.com (proprietary, with traffic info)As others have said. Just use opensteeetmaps.
They’re the best (even for hiking)
What is this shit?
Oh wow another proprietary maps service that uses opensource data that’s years late! wow amazing!
I really hope they will release an Android app :)
OrganicMaps already exists :p
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.
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.
