Discover Different Route Types

Access routes for other methods of transport

It’s probably true that many people would assume that Maps is aimed more towards directions for driving than anything else. When in actual fact, the truth is that it can also cater towards other route types. These include walking directions and public transport routes.

In the Maps section of the Settings app you can select the type of directions that Maps reports by default (the choices here are driving or walking). Within the Maps app itself you can select the route type whilst entering the locations in the route planner menu. The options are available above the fields where you input your start and end point.

The option for public transport is wholly dependent on external apps that cater towards travel options in your chosen area. Maps will suggest a number of apps that may be able to assist you in this regard.
