On iPad, you can get detailed walking directions to your destination. You can preview the elevation for your walk and choose a route that best avoids hills, stairs, and busy roads.
You can even find out the length of thousands of trails in parks across the U.S., preview elevation information, and see photos. Siri can give you walking directions home, as well, if you ask.
Here’s how to get walking directions in Maps on iPad.
Note: Turn-by-turn spoken directions and immersive walking instructions aren’t available in all countries or regions. Features for Wi-Fi + Cellular models require a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Apps > Maps.
