Get cycling directions from your current location in Maps on iPad
In the Maps app , 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.
On Wi-Fi + Cellular models (with a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Maps), Maps speaks cycling-specific directions for turns and maneuvers. You can turn off voice directions, change the volume, or change the audio output device. See Change audio settings for turn-by-turn directions in Maps on iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models).
Note: Cycling directions are available in select areas, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City, and multiple cities in China. Features vary by country and region. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.
Get directions for cycling
Do one of the following:
Say something like “Hey Siri, give me cycling directions home.” Learn how to ask Siri.
Tap your destination (such as a landmark on a map), tap Directions, then tap .
Touch and hold any spot on the map, tap Directions, then tap .
Tap Go for the route you want.
Note: Before you tap Go, you can select other route options. For example, you can choose to avoid hills or busy roads.
To see upcoming directions (Wi-Fi only models), swipe the banner at the top of the screen left.
To end the directions at any time, tap End, or say something like “Hey Siri, stop navigating.”
Note: You can also see an overview map of your route or all of its directions in a list.
Share your cycling ETA (Wi-Fi + Cellular models)
With iPadOS 14.5 (with a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Maps), you can let others know your estimated time of arrival (ETA) as you follow cycling directions.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Share my ETA.” Learn how to ask Siri.
Or without asking Siri, you can do the following:
With turn-by-turn directions showing, tap the route card, then tap Share ETA.
Choose one or more suggested contacts, or tap Contacts to find a contact.
You can do the following during your trip:
Stop sending ETA information: Tap Sharing ETA at the bottom of the screen, then choose a contact.
Replace the Sharing ETA card with the route card: Tap on the Sharing ETA card.
People using devices with iOS 13.1, iPadOS 13.1, or later receive a Maps notification with your ETA, and they can track your progress in Maps. People using devices with earlier versions receive the notification through iMessage. People using other mobile devices receive an SMS message.
Note: Standard carrier data and text rates may apply.
To turn off Share ETA, go to Settings > Maps > Navigation & Guidance.
