Apple is set to make its Maps app reliable or even better than its competitors. Recently, as you may have noticed, the navigation, as well as the overall UI has been overall improved after the updates. During WWDC 2022, Apple announced the long-awaited feature to the Maps app: The ability to add multiple stops on a route.
Since this new feature is introduced for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS 13, you may not know how to plan a route on Apple Maps with multiple stops. No worries, as that’s what I will be showing you here.
Can I add multiple destinations in Apple Maps?
Yes! Apple has finally heard the community and has added support for multiple destinations in Apple Maps. But before you get excited, this feature is only available for Apple devices that support iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS 13. Since we now know which devices will get support for multiple stops in Apple Maps, let’s look at the steps.
Add multiple destinations in Apple Maps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
The ability to add multiple stops in Apple Maps is limited to only directions for cars and bicycles. Now, let’s look at how to add more than one stop in Apple Map routes.
How to Create multiple stops in Apple Maps ( iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 )
Even though both are different Operating Systems, the steps to create a route on Apple Maps with multiple stops are the same for iOS and iPadOS. All you have to do is:
- Open Apple Maps.
- Search for your Destination.
- Tap Directions.
- Then, Tap Add Stop.
- Select the place you want to add in between.
To add more stops, tap Add Stop again and select the stop. Repeat this to add as many stops as you want to add. To rearrange the stop, tap and hold the stop you want to rearrange and then drag it above or below other stops. If you want to delete a stop, swipe the stop to the left and select delete.
You can even add multiple stops after you start the navigation. For that:
- Tap the small arrow on the bottom right.
- Now tap, Add Stop.
- Search for the place and tap Add Stop.
To add more stops while in navigation, repeat the same steps. With every new stop added, there will be a change in the ETA. To remove a stop, tap the arrow and tap the minus sign next to the stop to remove it.
