Apple Maps Cycling Directions Now Available in Chicago, Detroit, and More US Cities

Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Charleston are some of the places where Apple has added cycling directions.

All of Ohio and West Virginia, as well as parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Virginia, are said to be included in the updated coverage.

Since the beginning of April, Apple has been quietly adding cycling directions for parts of the Northeast, which suggests to O'Beirne that Texas and the Gulf Coast could receive coverage next, based on the pattern of Apple's map expansions.

How busy a street is, and whether there are stairs along the route are all taken into account. The feature was launched in a limited number of regions.

Apple has a list of all of the places where it has cycling directions on its website, but the latest locations have yet to be added. Outside of the U.S., cycling directions can be found in Barcelona and London as well as cities in Canada and mainland China.
