Apple doesn't want you to use their map unless you fully buy into their silo.
But for what it's worth, it looks like you can just pass coordinates in the URL, so use OpenStreetMap to grab the coordinates (these are in the URL too), and change a / to a ,:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/43.7697/11.2584
https://maps.apple.com/place?ll=43.7697,11.2584
No idea how you're supposed to share a specific POI. Even DuckDuckGo (which weirdly enough uses Apple Maps instead of something more suitable) hides the search parameters from the URL.
- aikinai 5y agoThe share button works fine on any sort on location in Apple Maps, including POIs. https://maps.apple.com/?address=1-2,%20Oshiage%201-Ch%C5%8Dme,%20Sumida,%20Tokyo,%20Japan%20131-0045&auid=17634390270645965006&ll=35.710010,139.810681&lsp=9902&q=Tokyo%20Skytree&_ext=Cj0KBAgEEAoKBAgFEAMKBAgGEHMKBAgKEA4KBAgQEAEKBAgvEEgKBAhSEAYKBAhVEAsKBAhZEAYKBQikARABEiQpM9h5wOHaQUAxnGuYofF5YUA5M9h5wOHaQUBBnGuYofF5YUA%3D&t=m https://maps.apple.com/?address=1-2,%20Oshiage%201-Ch%C5%8Dm...
- Freak_NL 5y agoThat's the opposite of what hiisukun is asking. They want to send a link to someone who owns an Apple device. Without an Apple device, maps.apple.com doesn't have a share button as far as I can tell. There is only a big blue 'directions' button which sends you to Google Maps.
