DuckDuckGo took this framework and used it to build its own mapping tool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-09-at-14.43.42_edited.png\" alt=\"Access DuckDuckGo Maps from Search\" width=\"650\" height=\"147\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To access it, simply search for a place in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/duckduckgo.com\">DuckDuckGo,<\/a> then click on the Maps filter at the top of the page, as you would with any other major search engine. You can also try searching for a place name and including \u201cmap\u201d in your query.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duckduckgo_maps.png\" alt=\"DuckDuckGo Maps\" width=\"650\" height=\"459\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can get directions this way by searching for a place, then clicking on the \u201cDirections\u201d button and choosing between walking and driving. You can also view local businesses on a map, but for this to work, you\u2019ll need to share your precise location using the map pin icon in the top-right corner of the map.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duckduckgo_maps_location.png\" alt=\"Enable Anonymous Location in DuckDuckGo Maps\" width=\"650\" height=\"260\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Apple Maps isn\u2019t quite as feature-rich as similar services from Google and Microsoft. This means it lacks information like real-time traffic and directions for cycling or public transport. On the plus side, business listings include <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trip<\/a>advisor ratings, contact information, and opening hours.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_Stops_Short_of_the_Full_Apple_Maps_Experience\"><\/span>This Stops Short of the Full Apple Maps Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo\u2019s mapping solution doesn\u2019t quite compare to using a dedicated Apple Maps app on a compatible device. There are no Apple-centric features, like saving favorite places to your iCloud account or syncing directions to a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>While you can switch between regular map view and satellite imagery, Apple Maps\u2019 impressive-looking 3D photogrammetry isn\u2019t present. Also absent is the \u201cLook Around\u201d street-view feature that is available in some areas when you\u2019re using a dedicated app version of Apple Maps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duckduckgo_maps_results.png\" alt=\"Business Results in DuckDuckGo Maps\" width=\"650\" height=\"364\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a DuckDuckGo user and you\u2019re willing to trade DuckDuckGo\u2019s privacy for Google or Bing\u2019s superior mapping experience, you can use dedicated bangs to search Google Maps (!maps) or Bing Maps (!bingmaps) directly.

The search engine emphasizes privacy above all else, so using a service like Google Maps (which collects data about whoever is using it) was not an option.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of data collection is what made Apple Maps such an enticing prospect and allowed DuckDuckGo to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/spreadprivacy.com\/duckduckgo-apple-mapkit-js\/\">announce<\/a> the partnership in early 2019. \u00a0The search engine reassured its users that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur strict privacy policy of not collecting or sharing any personal information extends to this integration.
