The Magic Earth to Google Maps converter is a free, web‑based utility that instantly rewrites a Magic Earth URL into a standard Google Maps link. It removes the friction of sharing location data across two competing navigation ecosystems, letting anyone—whether they’re on Android, iOS, or the desktop—open the same spot with the map service they already trust.
Why use the Converter?
Even if you love Magic Earth for its clean UI, offline maps, and privacy‑first design, you’ll still run into situations where the most people you share locations with—friends, family, coworkers—already rely on Google Maps. In those moments, the converter can help you keep navigating with Magic Earth on your end, but you hand over a Google Maps link that anyone can open instantly. It’s the best of both worlds—your preferred navigation experience stays untouched, while the people you’re sharing with get a hassle‑free, universally readable link.
What the converter eliminates
- Universal compatibility – Any Magic Earth URL (or raw latitude/longitude pair) is turned into a standard Google Maps link that works on every device, browser, and operating system.
- Zero effort – A single click parses the magic earth link and generates the google maps link; there’s no need to manually create.
- Seamless collaboration – Whether you’re planning a road‑trip pit‑stop, sending a meeting point, or helping someone locate a site, the recipient can open the location instantly in Google Maps.
How It Works – Under the Hood
- Input – You paste a Magic Earth link or the entire text provided by the magic earth app or the coordinates (raw latitude/longitude pair).
- Parsing – The script reads the query string, isolates the
latitude
andlongitude
parameters, and validates them. - Formatting – It constructs a Google Maps URL of the form
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=-62.17388669,-58.86386407
- Output – The new link appears instantly, ready to be copied via a “Copy link” button.
Because the conversion is purely client‑side JavaScript, no server logs or personal data are stored—privacy‑conscious users can feel safe.
