Description from store
Modern web-search behavior is surprisingly repetitive: you type a place or business into Google Search, scan the results, then open a new tab, re-type (or copy-paste) the same words into Google Maps to see where that café, hotel, trailhead, or repair shop actually sits on the earth.
Multiply those extra clicks by dozens of searches a day and the friction becomes real. Open in Maps eliminates that loop entirely. Once installed, the extension adds a discreet Maps button—technically called a “chip”—to the row of result-type filters at the top of every Google search page. Click it and you jump straight to an identical query in Google Maps. No copying, no new typing, no wasted seconds.
Floating pin – A minimalist icon hovers at the lower-right corner of the page, following you even as Google’s infinite scroll loads more results. It is perfect for power users who scroll deep and do not want to hike back to the top of the page.
You can use either control interchangeably; both open a fresh tab pointed to https://www.google.com/maps/search/<encoded query> so your original search page stays intact.
Everyday Use-Cases Where Seconds Matter
Frequent travelers – Compare air-port shuttle routes, hotel walking distances, or restaurant clusters without juggling tabs.
Real-estate hunters – Flip from listing descriptions like “two-bedroom condo near Central Park” directly to a geographic view, overlaying transit lines and school zones.
Foodies and errand-runners – Type “best croissant nearby” or “laptop repair in Chinatown” once and go straight to map-based business cards with ratings, hours, and phone numbers.
Event planners – Search “wedding venues with lake view,” open Maps, and use the side panel to measure distances to airports or guest accommodations.
Field technicians and sales reps – Build a quick route plan by searching successive site addresses and hopping into Maps with a single tap.
