How to change your iPhone’s default maps app

Hey friends, if you’ve ever wished you could set a default maps app on your iPhone, I’ve got a workaround for you. Map Redirect is an app extension that lets you set your default map app.

With Map Redirect, the days of being stuck with Apple Maps as your only option are gone. Instead, you get to choose which app handles your map links. Whether you’re a die-hard Google Maps fan or a devoted Waze user, Map Redirect lets you open map links in your preferred app. You can set it to always open links in your chosen app or Map Redirect can prompt you each time, allowing you to pick the best app for the job on the fly.

If you’re tired of Apple Maps this may be what you’re looking for.
