Get directions in Maps on Mac

1. Go to the Maps app on your Mac.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Click in the toolbar, then enter your starting location and destination.

   • Click your destination, such as a landmark or pin on a map, then click Directions in the place card.

     If your current location is showing, Maps uses it as your starting location, but you can enter a different one. You can also drag next to a location to swap your starting and ending locations.

   • Click your destination, such as a landmark or pin on a map, then click Create Route in the place card.

   Tip: You can also search for the name of someone in your contacts, or someone who shares their location with you in Find My (not available in all countries or regions), and get directions to their address or location. See the Apple Support article Find people and share your location with Find My.

3. Click the Drive , Walk , Transit , or Cycle button.

4. Click next to a route to see the directions list.

   If you’re driving, directions can include:

   • Electric vehicle routing: See charging stations along your route and keep track of your current charge (if you have a compatible vehicle). See Set up electric vehicle routing in the iPhone user guide.

   • Congestion zones: For major cities like London, Paris, and Singapore, congestion zones help reduce traffic in dense areas. You can get a route around these zones during hours when they are in force.

   • License plate restrictions: For Chinese cities that limit access to dense areas, you can get a route through or around a restricted area based on your eligibility.

   If you’re cycling, directions are available in select cities.

5. Do any of the following:

   • Zoom in on a step: Click the step in the directions list.

   • Choose when to leave or arrive: For driving and public transportation, click Plan to choose when you intend to leave or want to arrive. See Plan and share a route on your Mac.
