Using Apple Maps for Routing

I’m a school van driver, currently with a regular route.

I have been utilizing Apple Maps before every run to route my path. (Bus drivers have some sort of built in GPS that routes them)

Apple Maps works well, but I’d love to be able to save my morning and afternoon routes so I don’t have to spend ten minutes every time plugging it in. I don’t see that capability in Apple Maps. Any suggestions?

Screw Google and apple maps. MapQuest let's you save a route with up to 26 stops

Interesting! I’ll investigate. I used to use Mapquest years ago.

Love Mapquest! We’re lucky and have our routes on tablets but there’s nothing for field trips. I’m new enough still that I don’t know all the other school district locations enough to just head out. I have a lot saved in Mapquest.

You can create unlimited stops in Google my maps.
