Geo URI Handler

Open geo: URIs in your preferred maps website

Supported destination map sites:

  • Qwant Maps (default)
  • OpenStreetMap
  • Google Maps
  • Bing Maps
  • Apple Maps (macOS only)
  • GeoHack
  • MapCompare

Supported URI examples:

  • geo:latitude,longitude - displays the given coordinates and places a marker at them
  • geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom - overrides the default zoom
  • geo:latitude,longitude;z=zoom - same as above
  • geo:latitude,longitude?q=search+query - performs the given search query around the given coordinates (a marker is not displayed for the coordinates)
  • geo:0,0?q=search+query - uses the current or last viewed location as the center point for the search
  • Combinations of z and q are allowed with either ? and & (Android/unofficial) or ; (official) delimiters

Ignored parameters:

  • crs (always treated as wgs84)
  • u (always ignored)
  • geo:latitude,longitude,altitude (altitude is ignored)

Supported browsers:

  • Firefox 68+
  • Android already natively partially supports geo: URIs
    • Support varies by app, and Firefox for Android passes the URI directly to the OS, so this extension is not compatible
