Google Maps Link Shortener
Turn a long Google Maps location into a short, shareable link. Free to start.
Free plan. No card needed.
Why Google Maps links need this
Google shut down its goo.gl/maps short links, and a full Google Maps URL is enormous and impossible to read out or print. This tool gives you a clean short link for any location that, on a phone, opens straight in the Google Maps app for directions.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my goo.gl/maps link stop working?+
Google retired its goo.gl short-link service, so old goo.gl/maps links are being phased out. A directinapp short link is a simple, reliable replacement you control.
Does the short link open the Maps app?+
On a phone with Google Maps installed, the link opens the location in the app. If not, it opens Google Maps in the browser.
Will it keep the exact location?+
Yes. The short link redirects to the exact Maps URL you paste, so the pin and place stay the same.
Can I track scans and clicks?+
Yes. Every short link records clicks in real time, which is handy for a printed QR at a venue.
Is it free?+
Yes. Shortening Maps links is free. Premium plans add longer analytics history and custom slugs.
