Copy Apple Maps link

I'm doing an iBook and want to link addresses in the text to open in Apple Maps on the iPad. How do I copy the Apple Maps link to paste into the Navigator?

Thanks but I think this is a Maps issue - finding a way to copy a map's url or link would be useful for multiple applications, other than just iBooks Author.
I have about 185 addresses to link into my iBook project, so the thought of coding each link is not a happy one!

Adding Apple Maps links

I'm doing an iBook and want to link addresses in the text to open in Apple Maps on the iPad. How do I find, then copy the Apple Maps link to paste into the Navigator?

Can you work around it by using the 'Share' button?
Drop a pin (right click on the Map)
Click the pin
Click the icon
Click the 'Share' button it the top right corner of the popup.
Select Email
In Mail the link will appear in the text labeled 'Map'
Copy that to iBooks.
If it fails to work, convert the message to 'plain text' (in the Format menu). It will then show the full link URL.
This is very 'clunky' so I'd suggest you send feedback asking for a better way to get the link directly fromn the share button.

Why isn't the iphone apple map linked to other apps

since changing the ios the iphone now has maps supported by apple. since this is the case why don't other apps prompt the iphone map app to open. some apps like lowes, home depot, target, walmart apps direct users to google maps via the internet.

This is a technical forum. Nobody here will know the answer. The answer requires speculation about why companies behave the way they do.

How can I link google results to Apple maps?

Before iOS 6 and Apple maps, I could tap on google address search results which would open google maps and use the results there.
Now, I only can use them in the web app or still google maps. While there is a multitude of ways to re-link them to google maps, I was wondering if there is a way of linking those results to Apple Maps instead?

Copy and paste

Is there a way to have all google maps "get directions" links forward to Apple Maps?

The internet browser keeps opening too Google Maps instad of Apple Maps when I click "get directions" even inside Apps like Starbucks which is supposed to be integrated with Passbook etc. Is there a hack or workaround I can use to forward all info for Apple Maps instead?

How to disable Apple Maps?

I can't believe that this hasn't been a topic before. Very happy with apple in general, but every now and then I will click on a link to open directions and it goes to Apple Maps. I don't care for the program personally, and legally should be able to change this setting. I can not figure it out. Help would be appreciated.

No, default apps cannot be changed, nor is there any legal requirement for Apple to allow this. Some third party apps do allow for browser and app default settings, but not iOS itself. You can however, tap and hold on a link, copy it, then open in another mapping app.

Finding my UK business on Apple Maps by the postcode

Hi
My cafe/venue is called inSpiral Lounge
The postcode is NW1 8QS
If I search by postcode on google maps I get this. The venue is pinned and links to the reviews.
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1ASUM_enGB483GB483&q=nw1% 208qs&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl
However on Apple Maps, searching by postcode - we are not mentioned anywhere on the page.
How can I fix this?
If I put inSpiral lounge into Apple Maps then it does bring up our venue so we are listed.
Can anybody advise?
Thanks

Apple is working on the "Open In" function, right now some things will be offered to open in Google Maps. (otherwise, you can still copy/paste accordingly)
Worked with calendar and contacts
What does that mean?
Google can sync calendars and contacts as-is, just connect the account accordingly.
And if you sign in to Google Maps, you get all of the Google account connections too. (history, contacts, locations, etc.)

The location of my hometown (Hysham, Montana) is off by over 50 miles ever since Apple Maps came out. I have been reporting off and on ever since but it has never corrected. What do I need to do to get this fixed?!

The location of Hysham in Apple Maps is off by over 50 miles and has been ever since the advent of the app. I have gone through the motions many times to place the pin the correct location. Unfortunately, no one at Apple seems to care if Hysham, Montana is plotted in the correct location or not. The location displayed in Apple Maps is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. If someone were to rely on Apple Maps to get to Hysham may very well end up marooned in the midst of muddy two track road in the summer or stuck in a snowdrift in the winter with little or no hope of expedient assistance. Other than the reporting feature in Maps, there appears to be no other means to report mistakes and there appears to be no expedient means at Apple to filter through reports and fix the errors. In sum, What do I have to do to get the location of Hysham fixed in Apple Maps? Much thanks!

You have done all that you can. Apple maps depends on 3rd party map data solutions. As problems are reported, they are reported to the data providers. How and when they decide to make changes is up to them.
You can also let Apple know you are disappointed in this via feedback at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

How do I change the default map to one that works. Apple maps nearly killed me today in Leicester as it tried to take me down 2 pedestrian areas, 1 no entry and told me to do a u turn about 6 times at no u turn junctions.

Need to change default map on iphone. The default maps app is dangerous - it wanted to take me down pedestrian areas and through no entries whilst trying to navigate in Leicester. It needs to be removed from my phone as it is a hazard. I clicked on a link in an email and the maps app was opened and so I used it to navigate. Big mistake. This app is a serious hazard!

I don't really want to get into a long debate here, but just to put in some background info. I travel a lot in the uk and have done for many years. For the last couple of years I have used either Nav free or waze as sat nav maps on my iphone. Whilst there has been some errors, they have been useable - and of course you have to use your common sense whilst using them.
On this occasion someone emailed an address to me in Leicester. I wanted to drive from on point in Leicester to this address that has been emailed to me. I clicked on the address in the email and it defaulted to the apple maps and plotted a route. It was about 1 mile away and told me it would take about 8 mins.
This was the worse journey I have experienced with a 'sat nav' - it tried to take me through 2 pedestrian areas and 1 no entry in that short journey. Clearly I didn't go I. The pedestrian areas or turn into the one way. However, the apple. Aps persisted to try and make me take these route, and I. The process kept urging me to take a u turn where it was clearly sign posted that it was illegal to do so.
In the end, I pulled over and switched to Waze - it directed me straight to my destination without any errors.
The point is, I am not talking about a mistake in the middle of no where. This is a major city in the UK - and fairly central ie near the city centre.
Generally I love Apple products and don't knock them as a company.
The original question was genuine- can I change the default mapping app so that I don't end up using the apple maps app again. It was a disaster like nothing I have seen before.
I now know that the answer is no.
Apple clearly need to sort this out.

HT5429 How can I set back phone settings to go from a searched location in safari to apple maps rather than google directions?

How can I set back phone settings to go from a searched location in safari to apple maps rather than google directions?

Click Here enter destinations, link to page in iWeb or iFrame it by clicking on "Link to Page" from Google map. This may seem ironic but if you are looking for something the best way to find it is by searching Google. For instance Googling "google map directions" will send you to referenced page. for a sub-$20 app I find it hard to believe you find it hard to believe Apple hasn't integrated this feature into the software.
Hope that helps!

How to launch map application from google map link

Hello,
I am looking to find a way to have the map application on an iphone launch when someone opens this link from a website on their phone:

It only seems to open the map in safari and I can't find anything about how to change this by searching the web. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Apple Maps App problem - maps problem - why do they go blank

On OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3
I have a blank map, and this problem occurred on the last version of OS as well.
After I restarted my computer, the app started working but went blank again.
When the map is blank, I can't report the problem. It says no internet but my other apps that require an internet connection are still working. I've attached a picture of what pops up below. Please let me know what needs to be done to fix this issue.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time ▹ Time Zone
Check the box marked
          Set time zone automatically using current location
if it's not already checked. If the box is checked, uncheck it and then check it again. Test.
If the correct location and time zone aren't shown in the preference pane, then either Wi-Fi is turned off, or you're not within range of a network in the Location Services database. Under those conditions, the computer can't determine your location.
Credit for this idea to ASC member Easyas314.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps
Right-click or control-click the line and select
         Services ▹ Reveal in Finder
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.Maps" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the folder you moved. The list of recent places displayed in Maps will be lost.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to open a google map link in google maps app?

Hello,
I would like to post a link to a custom google map on my blog that could be open on Iphone with the google maps app. Someone would have an idea?
There maybe a solution with google map url scheme ("comgooglemaps:") but I don't see how to implement it
Thanks in advance!
The map:
https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=218162555454264993409.0004ddc647279c6f0bde0& msa=0&ll=46.149394,2.329102&spn=16.974756,19.02832

I think this is not possible as a link on the iPhone will default to the Apple Maps app and there is no way to change this.

Apple Maps - How long does it take for a new entry to be approved?

Like many other small business, my listing is missing in the new Apple Maps app and customers are having difficulty in finding me on their iphones.
Last Friday I attempted to add my business using these instructions - http://www.didgeroo.com/blog/41-tips-tricks/282-how-to-add-your-business-listing -to-apple-maps I also added a listing to Yelp.
It's almost a week now and my business still does not appear when searching Apple Maps. My Yelp listing is there, but nothing in Apple Maps.
Has anyone had any luck adding their business to Apple Maps? How long did it take to appear after you submitted a report?
I guess there must be a huge backlog at Apple. Would be nice if the process was more transparent - e.g. details of the approval process would help.

I'll take a look. This is pure speculation - I am guessing that the department store updated because there were enough signals from other data sources that confirmed your change. For example, I believe Apple's primary source of business listings data in Switzerland is TomTom. If you search for Globus in Zurich in TomTom at https://mycompany.places.tomtom.com/ there is a result for the address Theaterstrasse 12 zurich - http://places.tomtom.com/de_ch/detail/globus/zurich/63747953026467150.
So perhaps Apple was getting signals from other data sources that conflicted with TomTom and signaled "EPA". And your update overrode all of the other signals because it matched the TomTom data. BTW, not sure this means anything, but there are two listings for this business in TomTom. One of them links to the wrong website I think https://www.google.com/search?oq=site%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&q=si te%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&pws=0
Of course, it could have been any number of other screw-ups as well
You may want to search all of the known data suppliers and Google for queries like "epa Theaterstrasse 12 zurich" to try to find the out of date data sources. If you find any let us know, as this will be a key "paper trail" to figuring out how Apple gets some of it's data.
