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.
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.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Open the current Apple Maps location in Google Maps').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the maps switching shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Move a location between Apple Maps and Google Maps without searching again.
The switch uses GPS coordinates, not address text, so the exact spot is preserved.
Switch from Apple to Google Maps or Google to Apple — the same shortcut handles both.
