MapSwitch - Mapper for Safari

Safari links to maps can be awkward when they open in a service that is not the one a person prefers, and MapSwitch - Mapper for Safari is a utility aimed at that narrow task. Its name points to handling map links from Safari rather than offering a general-purpose navigation system. By our assessment, the idea is useful when a person regularly follows directions from web pages and wants those links to work with a chosen mapping app. The app’s value depends on which links and map services it can handle; a mapper cannot help much when a site uses an unsupported link format. It is also not a replacement for a full maps app with route planning, saved places, and navigation. That makes its role smaller than Apple Maps or Google Maps, but more focused on the handoff from browser to map. If the link format is not supported, the handoff is where its usefulness ends.
