Switch between Turn-by-Turn Directions & Overview When Walking

When walking to your destination using Apple Maps, you can alternate between turn by turn directions and overview.

By Elisabeth Garry Tue, 07/13/2021

When I’m following walking directions in Apple Maps, switching between different views is an easy way to get clarity on my street route directions and plan any additional stops I might like to make. If you want to switch between different views, follow the steps below.

Open the Maps app. Select a destination, tap Directions, and select Go to begin turn-by-turn directions.
Tap on the route card at the bottom of the screen. Select the Overview icon to view your full walking route on the screen.
Tap the Turn-by-turn directions icon to revert to your default route view. You can also tap Details to view your directions in a list.
