Get driving directions in Maps on iPad
In the Maps app , you can get detailed driving directions to your destination.
When you drive in select cities, you see enhanced details for crosswalks, bike lanes, buildings, and a street-level perspective that helps you find the right lane as you approach complex interchanges (supported models).
Note: Features for Wi-Fi + Cellular models require a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Maps. See View or change your cellular data account.
Get directions for driving
Do one of the following:
Siri: Say something like: “Give me driving directions home.” Learn how to use Siri.
Tap your destination (such as a search result in Maps or a landmark on a map), or touch and hold anywhere on the map, then tap the directions button.
When a suggested route appears, you can do any of the following:
Switch to driving directions: If driving isn’t your default mode of travel or if you’re viewing a transit map, tap
.
View a route’s directions in a list: On the route card, tap Preview Route (below the estimated travel time). To share the directions, scroll to the bottom of the card, then tap Share.
Choose a future departure or arrival time: Tap Now (below the Directions list), select a time or date for departure or arrival, then tap Done. The estimated travel time may change based on predicted traffic.
Add stops along your route: You can add up to 14 stops on the way to your destination. See Add a stop to your driving directions.
Avoid tolls or highways: Tap Avoid (below the Directions list), choose your options, then tap Apply.

On Wi-Fi only models, Maps shows turn directions in a banner at the top left. To see the next direction, swipe the banner left. To view a list of upcoming directions, tap the route card at the bottom of the screen, then tap Details.
On Wi-Fi + Cellular models, Maps speaks turn-by-turn directions to your destination. While following the route, you can share your ETA, find a place to stop, turn off spoken directions, and view a route overview or a list of turns. Maps remains onscreen and continues to speak directions even if you open another app or if iPad locks. (To return to Maps from another app, tap the directions banner at the top of the screen or the navigation indicator
in the status bar.)
End driving directions before you arrive
Siri: Say something like: “Stop navigating.” Learn how to use Siri.
Or without using Siri, tap the card at the bottom of the screen, then tap End Route.
Show or hide the compass or the speed limit
If you have an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, go to Settings > Maps, tap Driving (below Directions), then turn Compass or Speed Limit on or off.
Turn-by-turn spoken directions require iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular to be connected to the internet, and Location Services must be turned on. Cellular data rates may apply. See View or change your cellular data account.
Turn-by-turn spoken directions and directions for multiple stops are available in select countries and regions. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.
