Plan a route in Maps on your Mac, then send it to your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch — directions are ready to go when you walk out the door.

How to use it

1. Open Maps on your Mac and search for a destination
2. Click Directions to generate a route
3. Click the ⓘ (Info) button next to a route
4. Choose Share, then select which device you want to send directions to
5. Open Maps on your device to view the directions

Good to know

• Both devices must be signed in to the same Apple Account.
• You can only share driving routes that don't contain multiple stops.
• Synced searches also appear below Recents in Maps on iPhone or iPad (iOS 16 / iPadOS 16 or later).
• Alternatively, save a place in Maps on Mac — saved and pinned places sync automatically to your other devices via iCloud.
