How to Add Multiple Stops in iOS 16 Maps

Apple Maps in iOS 16 allows users to plan driving routes with up to 15 stops along a single trip. This guide explains how to build a multi-stop itinerary on your iPhone, reorder your stops, remove locations, and modify your route on the go before and during your drive.

How to Create a Multi-Stop Route

1. Open the Maps app on your iPhone running iOS 16 or later.
2. Search for your final destination in the search bar and tap it.
3. Tap the Directions button and ensure the Driving icon (car) is selected, as multi-stop routing is exclusive to driving directions.
4. Tap Add Stop located directly beneath your starting location and destination.
5. Search for the next location or select one from your recents, favorites, or map pins.
6. Repeat this process by tapping Add Stop again for each additional location you wish to visit (up to a maximum of 15 stops, including start and end points).

How to Reorder Stops

1. In the route planning card, locate the list of all your added destinations.
2. Touch and hold the three-line icon (hamburger handle) next to any stop you want to move.
3. Drag the stop up or down to place it in your preferred driving order.
4. Release your finger to set the new sequence. Apple Maps will automatically recalculate the travel time and directions based on the updated order.

How to Delete a Stop

• Method 1: Swipe left on the stop you want to remove and tap Delete.
• Method 2: Tap on the stop name, then tap the red minus icon or delete option to clear it from the route list.

How to Add a Stop While Driving

1. After starting your route by tapping the green Go button, tap the route card at the bottom of the screen to expand options.
2. Tap Add a Stop.
3. Select a category (such as Gas Stations, Coffee, or Parking) or search for a specific location.
4. Select the location and tap Add Stop to append it to your current active route. Alternatively, you can use Siri by saying, "Hey Siri, add a stop at the nearest gas station."
