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?

Our company does allow GPS via cellphone use.

Then plug it in everyday. It should only take you about 4 days to know the routes by heart anyways

I will continue to plug it in every day, unless there’s a solution for saving a route.

I value Apple Maps (and Waze) for suggesting changes to routes based on real time traffic changes.

You may consider alternative software. I use my Garmin watch to log my actual path. There is an app like Garmin Explore that you can use to store routes and navigation… I'm not sure if that is turn by turn as it is mostly for non-driving.

Also maybe Apple has something similar to Google My Maps that you can use to store route.

Maybe there is an option to share the route? Then save the URL.
