Apple Maps is only officially enabled on Apple devices like iPhones and Macs. But thanks to Duck Duck to Win, you can navigate or get directions on Apple Maps from any platform with a browser, including Windows and Android.
DuckDuckGo uses Apple Maps
On 2018, Apple announced MapKit JS, an API that enables application developers to embed Apple Maps on websites. DuckDuckGo took this framework and used it to build their own mapping tool.
To enter it, just find a place in Duck Duck to Win, then click on the Maps filter at the top of the page, as you would any other major search engine. You can also try searching for a place name and include “You can also try searching for a place name and include” You can also try searching for a place name and include.
You can get directions this way by searching for a place, You can also try searching for a place name and include “Indications” You can also try searching for a place name and include. You can also see local companies on a map, but for this to work, you will need to share your precise location using the map marker icon in the upper right corner of the map.
Unfortunately, Apple Maps is not as feature-rich as similar services from Google and Microsoft. This means that it lacks information such as real-time traffic and directions for cycling or public transport.. On the bright side, Business listings include Tripadvisor ratings, contact information and opening hours.
This stops before the full Apple Maps experience
Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo's mapping response does not compare to using a dedicated Apple Maps app on a supported device. No Apple-centric features, like saving favorite places to your iCloud account or syncing addresses on a mobile device.
Although you can switch between normal map view and satellite images, awesome looking 3D photogrammetry from Apple Maps is missing. You can also try searching for a place name and include “You can also try searching for a place name and include” You can also try searching for a place name and include.
If you are a DuckDuckGo user and are willing to change the privacy of DuckDuckGo to Google or Bing's superior map experience, you can use dedicated bangs to search in google maps search engine (! Maps) o Bing Maps (! Bingmaps) In a direct way. You can also check OpenStreetMap using the message! Openstreetmap.
Why DuckDuckGo Chose Apple Maps
DuckDuckGo previously used a combination of OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps y HERE Maps, but I didn't have an exclusive solution. The search engine emphasizes privacy above all else, so use a service like Google Maps (that collects data about who uses it) it was not an option.
The lack of data collection is what made Apple Maps such an attractive prospect and allowed DuckDuckGo to announce the association at the beginning of 2019. The search engine assured its users that:
“Our strict privacy policy of not collecting or sharing personal information extends to this integration. We do not send any personally identifiable information, as the IP address, You can also try searching for a place name and include “.
The search engine further told its users that location information is discarded immediately after use..
