Simplify Trip Planning with iPhone Maps

Road trips equal stress. So many stops to juggle and hotel reservations to locate for the address… It can be complicated. I figured out how to make them a bit easier using the iPhone map I already relied on. And now I use my guides all the time. I wish someone had shown me how to sooner! Instead of typing in addresses over and over, save them in a list. Friends’ houses. Places you frequent downtown. Upcoming trips. This saves me so much time and frustration - especially when traveling on my own with the kids. 1. Find one of your travel stops on the map. 2. Pull up the white direction box to the “+” in the middle under the pictures. (Yes, it’s always been there. 😉 ) 3. Select a guide you have created or scroll down to the “+” to make a new trip. 4. Continue to add to your guide to save hotel, stops, and food options. 5. When planning, select your trip and zoom in to see what places are near each other. A little extra time? See what else you can squeeze in. One restaurant is closed? Good thing you have a back-up picked out. 6. But now you’re done with the trip? Just delete it by sliding to the left and start your next grand adventure. I hope this tip helps you save some sanity to focus more on the fun of travel. 😃
