Users have long flocked to the DuckDuckGo search engine for its privacy features, but its Apple Maps-powered mapping and routing functionality has gained traction for its anonymity and interactivity. Here’s a look at how DuckDuckGo Maps works and how you can use it.

Map and directions functionality is integrated into the main DuckDuckGo search engine. These features are automatically activated when you search for a business or location. Use search styles to get directions and plan your route, such as:

Search for a restaurant, store or other type of business and follow it with near me to get local search results. Or search for a business, such as a hotel, golf course or grocery store, by type or name.
