Use Siri to get directions
You can keep focused on the road by using Siri to get directions. And by listening to turn-by-turn spoken directions, you can follow driving, cycling, and walking directions without even looking at your iPhone.
Siri: Say something like:
“Get directions to the nearest coffee shop”
“Find a charging station”
“Give me directions home”
Tip: To use “home” or “work” when using Siri or searching in Maps, add your home and work addresses to My Card in Contacts.
Get directions with CarPlay or other devices
In addition to using your iPhone, you can also get directions from the following:
Your car: After you connect your iPhone to CarPlay, you can use CarPlay to get driving directions, estimate your arrival time, and more. See Get turn-by-turn directions with CarPlay.

Your Apple Watch: You can use Apple Watch to get driving, walking, transit, and cycling directions, which you can follow on the watch face and your iPhone. See Get directions on Apple Watch in the Apple Watch User Guide.
Choose your default mode of travel
Maps defaults to your preferred way to travel when providing directions. To change your preference, do the following:
Tap your picture or initials at the top right of the search card, then tap Preferences.
If neither your picture nor initials appears, tap Cancel next to the search field, or tap the search field, then tap Cancel.
