What Maps does

Google Maps opens in the browser. Apple Maps opens the native Maps app and falls back to Apple Maps on the web if the app URL cannot open.

How to use it

  1. Select a place name or address.
  2. Choose Maps.
  3. ActionClip opens the cleaned location in Apple Maps or Google Maps.

Example

Selected text

Meet at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014

Map query

1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014

Settings

Open the action's settings from:

ActionClip Settings → Actions → Maps → gear
ActionClip Maps settings with Google Maps and Apple Maps choices
Maps can send detected places to Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Map app

When ActionClip suggests it

Maps is promoted for detected addresses and strong postal/street patterns. Plain five-digit selections are suppressed so ordinary numbers are not treated as ZIP codes.

Enabled actions remain available in your Actions list even when Smart Suggestions do not promote them for the current selection.

Requirements and privacy

  • Requires Online Actions because the destination maps service is external.
  • Apple Maps uses the native app when available and a web fallback otherwise.
  • ActionClip may clean surrounding text to isolate the probable address.
