Let’s face it, Apple Maps isn’t the most popular navigation app out there. However, it is catching up with its competitors quite nicely. Thankfully, Apple added another important feature, multiple stops on a route recently. So, let’s see how you can add multiple stops in Apple Maps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
The relatively new feature was released alongside iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura. So you can add up to 15 destinations (that’s up to 14) in Apple Maps from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Once enabled, it will navigate you stop by stop. A perfect companion for a road trip or a short visit to a new city, especially if you’re using Apple Maps’ Directions feature.
Note: Directions to multiple stops are not available in all countries or regions. Check Apple’s support page to see if your region is covered.
