Use Siri, Maps, and the Maps widget to get directions on iPad
You can get travel directions in the Maps app in several ways.
Important: To get directions, iPad must be connected to the internet, and Location Services must be turned on. (On Wi-Fi + Cellular models, cellular data rates may apply. See View or change your cellular data account.)
Use Siri to get directions
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 asking Siri or searching in Maps, add your home and work addresses to My Card in Contacts.
