- oauea 6y agoYes I know what DuckDuckGo is. The comment also said: > Apple Maps is available on the web
- rrdharan 6y agoThey'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.
- oauea 6y agoAh, that is bizarre. But I've never understood Apple. Thanks for explaining.
