I think this app is a pretty essential app to anyone who want to leave Google Maps, so I am sharing it here for anyone who might need it.
osm2gmaps can also convert Google Maps links to geo:, despite it is designed to do the opposite.
This application requires internet to perform this translation. I was hoping for this to be working offline but it seems google is probably not encoding it in an easy way to decode locally offline…
Hm… you made me check and indeed it needs connection, but I was more intrigued by the fact that you can’t share a location from Google Maps if you’re not connected - at least in my case, when offline and trying to share a location, the sharing sheet (or whatever it’s called) doesn’t show up at all.
That’s one use case, but I get sent these locations from other users of gmaps and I need a way to easily open them with organic maps for instance. Not always easy, despite plus codes available to possibly solve this issue in many cases.
I know. I’m in the same situation myself.
Looks interesting. Does anyone have more information a about these geo: URLs ?
Answering myself : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme
I assume url check can then pass the url to this?
