How it works

How to create a Google Maps deep link

Paste your Maps link

Drop a place, business, or directions URL (maps.google.com or maps.app.goo.gl) into the box above.

Get your deep link

U2L returns a short link that knows how to open the Google Maps native app on a phone.

It opens in the app

Use it on your site, in ads, or a QR code - taps open the place in Google Maps, ready to navigate.

What is a Google Maps deep link?

A Google Maps deep link is a URL that opens a specific place, business profile, or route inside the Google Maps mobile app rather than a browser. You generate one from any Google Maps link and use it wherever you point people to a location.

Local businesses and event organisers use deep links so a tap opens the app, ready to get directions or save the place - far smoother than a map stuck in a browser tab. The easier it is to navigate, the more people actually show up.

Three terms to know: a deep link is the general idea of opening a specific in-app screen, a universal link is Apple's https-based version on iOS, and an app link is Android's. U2L applies the right one per device, so there's nothing to configure.

Developer deep-linking tools need an SDK and code. U2L generates the link from a paste instead - free and instant.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Google Maps deep link?

A link that opens a specific place, business, or set of directions inside the native Google Maps app instead of a browser. U2L generates one from any Google Maps URL.

How do I create a Google Maps deep link?

Paste your Maps URL into the box above and share the U2L link you get back. On phones it opens the Google Maps app directly to that place or route.

Does it work with maps.app.goo.gl short links?

Yes - both maps.google.com and maps.app.goo.gl URLs are supported and open the matching place in the app.

Do I need an SDK or any code?

No. U2L generates the link from a pasted URL - there is nothing to install, configure, or ship.

Is the Google Maps deep link generator free?

Yes - generating links is free and needs no account. Sign up free only if you want analytics and management.

Does it work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. U2L opens the native Maps app on iOS and Android and falls back to the web if it isn't available.

What's the difference between a deep link and a universal link?

A deep link is the general concept of opening a specific in-app screen; a universal link is Apple's https-based way of doing it on iOS (Android's version is an app link). U2L handles the right one per device automatically.

Can I track clicks on my Maps deep links?

Free links are anonymous with no analytics. Create a free U2L account to track clicks, devices, and locations on every link.
