, you can get detailed cycling directions. Maps offers routes on bike paths, bike lanes, and bike-friendly roads (when available). You can preview the elevation for your ride, check how busy a road is, and choose a route that best avoids hills.
Note: Cycling directions are available in select areas. Features vary by country and region. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.

Say something like “Hey Siri, give me cycling directions home.” Learn how to ask 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.
