I manually edited the URL back to apple, which (on a Mac) opens the Maps app.

Interestingly, the change comes from from Apple. `curl -v https://maps.apple.com/?q=Gary+Glitter` gives a redirect to maps.google.com. Presumably they do this when the don't recognize the browser as capable of starting the Maps app.




That's a very interesting choice on their part. I wonder if there's any co-ordination with google on this.

duckduckgo uses apple maps for its map system, if anyone stuck with a redirect wants to see this; https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=Garry+Glitter&iaxm=maps


I wonder if Google pays Apple to do this too?
