It's possible to plan a route that has multiple stops for the first time with the new features in iOS 16. The Apple Maps app was far behind competitors when it came to planning for more than one stop on a trip.
You can add stops to multiple locations when you type in a destination in the Maps app. The Maps app can be used to add up to 15 locations on one route. You will need to manually type in stops when you use the Maps app.
If you're already on the road and want to make a stop, you can use a voice command.
If you want to plan a trip with multiple stops, you can use the Maps app on the Mac and then transfer it to the iPhone when you're ready to go.

Drop down menus for changing travel mode, time you want to leave, and options to avoid tolls make it easier to find your way.
