Apple Maps may not be everyone's top choice for navigation—even those committed to the Apple ecosystem—but the app has come a long way since it's initial rocky rollout, and has plenty of features that make it worth using. Beyond the basics, you'll also want to consider some of its lesser-known settings to get the most out of Apple Maps on both mobile and desktop.

The data is stored on your synced devices and is encrypted end to end, so even though your device is technically tracking you, you're the only one who can access the information. If you prefer that it didn't, you can toggle the feature off and on under Settings > Apps > Maps > Location. You can also delete locations by tapping Clear History in the Visited Places list.
Download offline maps for when you’re out of service
Apple Maps has a built-in planning feature that allows you to save locations to a collection for future reference. You can share these guides with others, too. For example, you could put together lists of favorite places or sightseeing itineraries for a group trip. To start a guide, open "Your Guides" (there will already be a "Favorites" collection) and tap the "plus" sign to create a new collection. You can add locations from place cards by tapping the three horizontal dots > Add to Guides and share using the Share icon.

You can also make your own routes on roads, paths, and trails and save them to Apple Maps to return to later. To start a custom route, such as a city tour or road run, drop a pin on the map, then tap the three horizontal dots followed by "Create a Custom Route." Tap other points on the map to connect them, then select whether to complete your trip by going in reverse or closing the loop. Finally, tap "Save Route," and you'll have a custom path to follow whenever you'd like.

Either way, you'll need to search a location and click "Directions," then choose your preferred route from the suggestions. You can adjust your mode of transportation and starting and ending points as needed. Click the "Info" icon, then tap "Share" below the turn-by-turn list. Now, select "Send to iPhone," which will deliver a notification to your device. Tap this, and Apple Maps will launch on your iPhone with the directions loaded. Note that you'll need to have time-sensitive notifications and badge alerts on your Lock Screen enabled for this to work.
With Continuity, you can load directions on Maps on your Mac, then open the app switcher on your iPhone and tap the Apple Maps link at the bottom. To make sure this works for you, both your Mac and iPhone should be signed into iCloud with the same Apple Account, wifi and Bluetooth should be enabled on both, and "Handoff" should be turned on—though Apple says it is by default.
