How to Change the Default Map App in Windows 10
Windows 10 comes with its own built-in map application, Windows Maps. However, if you prefer to use a different map app, you can easily change the default.
Here are the steps on how to do it:
- Open Settings. You can do this by clicking on the Start button and then selecting the Settings icon.
- Click on Privacy & Security.
- Click on Location.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Set default.
- Select the map app that you want to use as the default.
- Click on Set this program as default.
Once you have followed these steps, the default map app will be changed. The next time you open a map link, it will open in the app that you selected.
Additional Notes:
- If you do not see the Set default button, it means that you do not have any other map apps installed. You will need to install a map app from the Microsoft Store before you can change the default.
- You can also change the default map app by using the following command in the Command Prompt:
setx /m Default.Maps.Application {path to the map app}
For example, to set Google Maps as the default map app, you would use the following command:
setx /m Default.Maps.Application "C:Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe"
Replace the path with the actual path to the map app on your computer.
