Link troubleshooting

Check these first. They fix most link problems.

1. Check it’s an Apple Maps link

Maps Bridge works with links that start with maps.apple.com/... or maps.apple/p/... If it’s a Google Maps link or a dropped pin text with no link, open it directly in Google Maps.

2. Try paste instead of Share

Long-press the link in Messages, WhatsApp, or email, tap Copy, open Maps Bridge, paste it in the box, then tap Open in Google Maps.

3. Short links need internet once

Short links like maps.apple/p/... need a quick check with Apple to expand. Turn on Wi-Fi or mobile data and try again.

4. Google Maps not opening?

Make sure Google Maps is installed and updated from Google Play. Then in Maps Bridge choose View or Navigate again.

5. Don’t see Maps Bridge in Share?

In your messaging app tap Share, then More or the share list. Pick Maps Bridge from the list. If it still doesn’t show, copy and paste the link instead.

6. Wrong place opened?

Compare the place in Google Maps with what your friend sent. If the pin looks off, send us the exact link so we can check how it converted.

Contact us

Support FAQ

Short answers, no hype.

What links does Maps Bridge support?
