Add a non-beta web link for Apple Maps
Template would be https://maps.apple.com/place?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&ll={latdegdec},{londegdec}. Accessible on more devices, including mobile. CupWithSoda19 (talk) 02:33, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

::Maybe both the previous one (web beta) and the one you just added off my suggestion could be there at the same time? The web beta one could say (beta, desktop only) until other platforms get support for the web beta. CupWithSoda19 (talk) 18:54, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
:::What additional value would the beta version (beta.maps.apple.com) offer compared to what the other version (maps.apple.com) offers? --тнояsтеn ⇔ 19:14, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
::::That's fair. Although I still think once more platforms are added to the beta, it should replace it. CupWithSoda19 (talk) 22:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
Apple maps
Currently the second service on the list says Apple Maps (Apple devices only). However that's not true any longer (Apple devices only), since it's now available on web browsers.
[https://support.apple.com/en-ca/120585 more info]
Can that Apple devices only text be removed?
I'm referring to this tool, and I'm not sure if I'm making this suggestion in the right place:

Also "other devices" text could be removed:

ESRI map viewer
Hi,
Could you please add ESRI map viewer? An important map source, for sure. It's great because you can choose lots of different base maps and manage data a lot of ways on the left hand menu bar. Thanks for your great work on this tool.
