Create custom walking and hiking routes in Apple Maps

Apple Maps lets you plan your own walking or hiking routes — from nature hikes to city strolls — and save them to your Library for later.

From your Places library

1. In Maps, tap your profile icon → Places → Routes
2. Tap + Create Route
3. Tap on a path or road to set your starting point
4. Keep tapping points along your desired path to build the route
5. When finished, tap Save Route — name it and optionally add notes

From a pin on the map

You can also start from a specific location: touch and hold a road, path, or trail to drop a pin, tap ⋯ (More), then choose Create a Custom Route.

Saved routes appear in your Routes library so you can navigate them anytime. Turn on Download Route to access the route and surrounding map offline.
