Is there a web version of Apple Maps?

Apple does have a web interface to their maps. If you use the URL scheme info from Map Links, and then modify the URL copied from any Maps app to add the word "place" before the CGI stream, you'll get a web page you can view in any browser. (e.g., change "https://maps.apple.com/?address=..." to "https://maps.apple.com/place?address=...")

As an example, here's the page for Apple Park. And just to prove it's not for common places, here's the location of a house I lived in when I was a boy.

NB: not all parameters are supported; e.g., I've not found the zoom (z) or type (t) parameters to have any impact on what's viewed. However, if you're building web pages for your business, this will allow you to craft a URL that non-GoOgle users can reference, that will also lead into the Maps app on any Apple device with a single tap.

There is no web version.

I wholeheartedly agree with all four of these points - was just thinking the same thing myself - and I have the same questions.

No web version that I'm aware of.

This may not be something Apple could do since they don't own the map content. That comes from TomTom and others and the licensing may not allow other uses. But you can suggest it.

You can actually give feedback in the MAPS applicaiton itself. When you drop a pin or already are in a selected address, you can touch the pin and go into the Location window. There you have the option to Report A Problem.

I agree with the frustrations with not having a Web version of Apple's Maps to access, not being able to do an at-desk preview of the drive I'm gonna take, or send others onto. In my case, I am regularly providing location addresses to members of my work crews, in which I include the specific street address (which can be clicked on from their iOS device), a screensnap of the map, as well as a link (link to Google's map page) to the location. Previously, this method would provide easy access via any one of the options, from any sort of device. Currently, the link option is no longer as efficient as it once was (for iOS6 folks), as the user is now taken into the browser version of Google's maps. Sure, it works, but it's not as 'fluid' an experience.

Seeing how more than 90% of my crews use the iPhone, I would much rather provide a link that opens Apple's Maps, instead of Google's web page via a browser.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I hate to say it, but Maps is the main reason that I am still running iOS 5.1.1 and have not upgraded to the iPhone 5, and am sticking with my iPhone 4 until the "5S" becomes available, or my phone falls into the toilet again ... though my LifeProof case will keep me alive through that! I still have hope that Google will get an app approved, but then again, would it even be able to be the default map that a link would open within???

Hve you upgraded to iOS6 yet? You can share your location and the data opens up right in maps just as your asking on any device.

You may create hyperlinks that open in apple maps app on ios and Mac OS X.

Just use the URL in the format http://maps.apple.com/?ll=52.47,-1.913 (these coordinates are for Five Ways Station in Birmingham, UK)

Wikipedia uses these links in geolocating places for articles

*ahem* I should first point out that I am a Google fanboy, BUT I won't be going into the "Google Maps, herp derp, Apple stupid" garbage (unless you want me to ;~P). I just figured that I should point out a small correction in something mentioned earlier:

It is not TomTom's data which broke Apple Maps. It was largely Apple's poor implementation of data they purchased from companies such as TomTom. This is proven by the gradual improvement of Apple Maps since its initial release. They're smoothing over the data they crammed into an app and using it properly. Also, my family uses a TomTom GPS for family trips, so I had the opportunity to compare Google Maps (via my LG Spectrum) vs TomTom vs Apple Maps (via my cousin's iPhone 4S). At the time of Apple Maps's release, it was out of the running half the time. Google Maps and TomTom were always pretty close. The only thing I feel had a real advantage was Google Maps seemed to know which side of the street the location was more often (ex. "destination in 400 ft on right"). Which if you prefer TomTom navigaion, that's really nothing worth switching for.

On a side note, if anyone really does want to have an intelligent discussion regarding the pros and cons of iOS vs Android, then let me know ;~)

Apple needs to provide a web version of their maps. I need to be able to get directions from my computer & then link to the correct directions on my phone.

It seems like Apple isn't realizing how important this basic use-case is.
