HOW TO Add stop-offs to your routes

3 Set your starting point The default starting point is your current location. If you want to start from somewhere else, tap My Location and type the name of the place where you want to start your journey. When the exact location appears, tap it.

1 Locate your destination

To start planning a route, we first have to decide where to go. Tap Maps to open it, swipe up to see a list of Siri Suggestions, Favourites, and places you’ve recently searched for. If one of those is where you want to go, tap it.

2 Search for a location

If the place you’re travelling to isn’t in Suggestions, Favourites, or Recents, tap the search bar and start typing its name. When you see it appear in the results below, tap it to set it as your destination for directions.

4 Ask Siri

If you don’t want to type, or can’t because you’re driving, use Siri. With Hey Siri enabled, say “Hey Siri” then “Show me how to get to…” or “Plan a route to…” Be specific with the destination and Maps will show you directions.

5 Add a stop

You now have a direct route from your chosen start point to your destination. Tap Add Stop then type the name of the place you want to stop at into the search bar and tap it when it appears in the list of results.

6 Change the order

By default, when you add a stop, Maps places it at the bottom of the list, so routing you via your final destination to the stop. To rectify this, tap and hold on the three lines next to the stop and drag it above the destination.

7 Delete a stop

Once you’ve added one or more stops to your route, you can delete any or all of them if plans change. From Maps’ main screen, tap the route under Recents, then swipe left over the stop you want to remove and tap Delete.

8 Change the start time

The day and time you travel can affect the route Maps plans. To specify a date and time, tap Now, next to the mode of transport, and use the calendar to set a date. Tap time and use the wheels to set a departure time.
