For years, Google Maps has been a go-to tool for millions worldwide, seamlessly integrated into search results for instant access to directions, locations, and more. But if you’ve noticed something missing recently, you’re not imagining things. Due to European Union regulations, Google has been forced to remove its Maps functionality from its search results, marking a significant shift in how we interact with the tech giant’s ecosystem.

For example in duckduckgo you can type "city !gm" and it will take you to Google maps search results for "city".

You can also use ddg.gg as a quick way to be redirected to duckduckgo.com without having to type the whole thing
