How to access maps.apple.com on MacOS

Question

Before sending https://maps.apple.com/lat,long to someone who may not have a Mac, I tried to view it myself.

But Safari, DuckDuckGo, and Firefox all asked me if I wnted to open Maps.app

When I declined, it refreshed the previous page.

Is there a way around this short of traveling to a place that has Windows?

Answer 1

You can configure Safari to impersonate Edge for Windows to prevent the redirection to Maps:

1. Launch Safari.
2. Select Safari > Settings… to open the Safari Settings window.
3. In the Advanced pane, enable "Show features for web developers":
4. Select File > New Private Window to open a new window.
5. Select Develop > User Agent > Microsoft Edge - Windows and paste the URL in the address bar.

Note that the setting the user agent applies to the current tab of the selected window only.
