Get driving directions in Maps on iPod touch

In the Maps app , you can get detailed driving directions to your destination.

Note: Turn-by-turn spoken directions are not available in all countries or regions. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.

Get directions for driving

Do one of the following:
- Say something like “Hey Siri, give me driving 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.
When a suggested route appears, you can do any of the following:
- View a route’s directions in a list: On the route card, tap the route’s estimated travel time so that the route appears at the top of the card, then tap the estimated travel time again. This list is especially helpful if you know you’ll lose your internet connection on your route, because you can refer to these directions even after you lose your connection.
  To share the directions, scroll to the bottom of the card, then tap Share.
- Switch to driving directions: If driving isn’t your default mode of travel or if you’re viewing a transit map, tap to see a suggested driving route.
- Choose a future departure or arrival time: Tap Leaving Now (near the top of the route card), select a time or date for departure or arrival, then tap Done. The estimated travel time may change based on predicted traffic.
- Avoid tolls or highways: Scroll to the bottom of the route card, then turn on an option.
- Choose other route options: You can reverse the starting point and destination, select a different starting point or destination, and more. See Select other route options.
Tap Go for the route you want.

While following the route, you can share your ETA, turn off spoken directions, find a place to stop, and more. See Things you can do while following a route in Maps on iPod touch.

Go to Settings > Maps, tap Driving (below Directions), then turn Compass or Speed Limit on or off.
