Family in Russia, colleagues in Kazakhstan, a host in Turkey: plenty of people navigate with Yandex Maps, and a Google Maps link sends them to a web page.

Why Google Maps links don't open in Yandex Maps

A Google Maps link (maps.app.goo.gl or google.com/maps) only opens Google Maps or a browser tab. Yandex Maps never sees it, so a Yandex user ends up copying the address over by hand, often between alphabets.

JamShare turns the place into one link with a Yandex Maps button. When the place is a business Yandex knows, it opens that business with its Yandex reviews and hours; otherwise it opens the exact point.

You share from Google Maps. They open it in Yandex. Nobody retypes an address.

Routes and 2GIS too

Planning a trip with stops? Share the directions from Google Maps and JamShare keeps the whole route, so Yandex Maps users open the same stops in Yandex. Friends in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or the UAE who prefer 2GIS get a 2GIS button for places that 2GIS covers.
