Google Search Maps Button
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Adds back the Maps button to Google search pages and makes the search result map images clickable again for seamless navigation.
The "Google Search Maps Button" Chrome extension brings the Google Maps button back to the Google Search navigation bar for users in Europe. If you've found the Google Maps button gone or missing from your search experience, this extension is designed to address exactly that.
What it Does: This extension ensures you can access Google Maps with just one click from the Google Search page. It also makes map images clickable within search results, significantly improving your navigation experience.
Why it's Needed: In response to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which is aimed at fostering fair competition and innovation, the Google Maps shortcut was removed for European users. This tool effectively restores that lost convenience.
Privacy and Security: Operating without saving any user data, the extension ensures your privacy and security are protected.
For anyone who's noticed the Google Maps button gone from the Google Search navigation bar in Europe, this extension provides a straightforward and effective solution, seamlessly reintegrating this essential feature into your browsing routine.
Troubleshooting steps if the extension is not working:
1. Check Plugin Status: Make sure that the plugin is enabled in your Chrome browser.
2. Verify Site Access: Open the details for this plugin under "My Extensions" and ensure that "Site Access" is enabled.
NB! For Opera users: Go to the Manage Extension section and tick the „Allow access to search page results” option. Otherwise the plugin wont work.

- Super! Would be nice to have some settings, especially to change the position in between the buttons of the navigation bar. Now it's after "all" and before "news" and "images". I would like to put it after "images"

- The maps link is now hidden in a drop down in chrome, in the 'more' menu at the end of the menu. Can we get it back directly visible in the main menu in Chrome somewhere with video's images maps? It's working great but now we have to search for the link to maps.

- For god's sake please put the "Maps" tab after "Images", I beg you! Or even make a setting option to choose where to place it in the google search
- Michał Nowak
- Could've been better, loads last and appears before "Images".
- Georgi Mechev

- It would be great if we can change the position of the button. The button on second position, or where the images link is supposed to be is annoying.
- Mark Ashworth
- this is excellent, i hate that the EU forced me to need this. You are doing gods work. i love you.

- 10/9 godsend thanks
- Jonas Sternisko
- Works just fine AND and *does not* use incorrect localizations like other extensions do.
- Jean-Baptiste Hayter
- Very annoying, the maps link goes where the image link is supposed to be. And I keep clicking maps when I want to click images. "Google Maps QuickClick - Search to Maps" is the better one

- Louay Al-Sadoon
- Great, and needed. I'm also immensely annoyed that the maps and images buttons keep changing places depending on what I'm searching, if there is some extension to keep them static I'd love to know.

- Sweet. except for my security paranoia brain. See, Google is my password vault, my payment function and my daily driver. A script pretending to be me better be water tight, security wise... mind to open source it, ideally with a reproducible build? and also I looked at the permissions and I think they can be more restrictive for example, why would it need * background sync * protected content IDs * payment handlers??? dafuq? * third party sign-in ?? and many more features simply inherit "the default" instead of being blocked. YAGNI. please kindly declare what you don't need. the URL, can you make that google.XX/search/* instead of google.XX/*? be as restrictive as you can, please. I'll happily uprank from 2 to 5 once security is addressed, function is great.
