About this extension
# Geo URI Handler
Open `geo:` URIs in your preferred maps website

Supported destination map sites:
* OpenStreetMap (default)
* Google Maps
* Bing Maps
* Apple Maps (Beta)
* Apple Maps (macOS only)
* GeoHack
* MapCompare

Supported URI examples:
* `geo:latitude,longitude` - displays the given coordinates and places a marker at them
* `geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom` - overrides the default zoom
* `geo:latitude,longitude;z=zoom` - same as above
* `geo:latitude,longitude?q=search+query` - performs the given search query around the given coordinates
(a marker is not displayed for the coordinates)
* `geo:0,0?q=search+query` - uses the current or last viewed location as the center point for the search
* Combinations of `z` and `q` are allowed with either `?` and `&` (Android/unofficial) or `;` (official) delimiters

Ignored parameters:
* `crs` (always treated as wgs84)
* `u` (always ignored)
* `geo:latitude,longitude,altitude` (altitude is ignored)

Supported browsers:
* Firefox 128+
* Android already natively [partially supports `geo:` URIs](https://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html)
* Support varies by app, and Firefox for Android passes the URI directly to the OS, so this extension is not compatible

Licenses:
* Code: MIT (see LICENSE file)
