Build a Switch Maps App Shortcut for iPhone

You're looking at a location in Apple Maps and want to open it in Google Maps for better transit information, or vice versa. Doing this manually means copying the address, switching apps, and searching again. A switch maps app shortcut for iPhone takes the current location open in one maps application and opens the exact same place in the other, with one tap.

How this maps switching shortcut works

When you're viewing a location in Apple Maps or Google Maps, share it to the shortcut. It extracts the coordinates and opens the exact same location in the other maps application. No re-searching, no address copying, just a seamless switch between your two navigation options.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Build a Switch Maps App Shortcut shortcut free?

You can review the workflow before paying, but custom AI generation requires purchased credit. AI requests use that prepaid balance according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.

Which iPhone, iPad, and Mac models does this shortcut support?

Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.

Does this shortcut need an internet connection to run?

It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.

Can I customise this shortcut after installing it?

Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
