Where? I went to https://www.apple.com/maps/ https://www.apple.com/maps/ and clicked "Open Maps" but that just brings me straight back to that same page with no map in sight, just a lot of pictures of idevices.

“DDG” in the parent comment refers to DuckDuckGo, for example https://duckduckgo.com/?q=New+York%2C+United+States&t=iphone&ia=web&iaxm=maps&iax=images&strict_bbox=0&bbox=68.31514425885297%2C-24.53174780000002%2C61.54808395386463%2C-13.490860900000015&metatoken=0 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=New+York%2C+United+States&t=iphone...

  Yes I know what DuckDuckGo is. The comment also said: > Apple Maps is available on the web

    They're probably referring to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs which is what powers the DDG integration. Anyway it is the case that the only way to browse Apple Maps via the web (AFAICT) is via an integration like DDG: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-use-apple-maps-right-in-your-browser/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-use-apple-maps-right-in... So yeah saying it is available on the web feels a bit disingenuous, but it is, kind of, indirectly.

      Ah, that is bizarre. But I've never understood Apple. Thanks for explaining.
