Plotting a Route w/ Maps

Maps can act as a digital Triptik. Provided you're within an Edge area Maps will plot every move of the trip with both written directions and visually on the map.

  • Press the Locate button.
  • Tap the Directions button.
  • Your location will appear as End.
  • Tap the Squiggle button. Your location is now in the Start field.
  • Tap the End field.
  • Enter the destination address and tap the Route button.
  • Tap the Start button. The map will magnify and give you the first step of the journey.
  • Press the right arrow button. This gives you the second leg.
  • Keep tapping the right arrow button. A you go, each turn will be highlighted by a purple circle.
