Setting up multiple destinations makes that easy, though its easy to miss that its even an option.
You have two different ways to add multiple stops.
First, map out directions to your final destination like you always do.
Then, tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner > Add Stop.
Enter a second location and Maps will navigate you between them.
you might add up to nine different stops here.
Alternately, you’ve got the option to add a stop along your route midway through a drive.
Go ahead and start up navigation to your final destination.
Once Maps is navigating, tap the big search button, then search for whatever you need.
Maps will only show you options along your current route.
When you park, youll see a pop-up that asks you to back up your location.
Perhaps more useful when youre on the go is anew lists feature.

it’s possible for you to also share these lists or make them public.
This is either very cool and useful or very creepy.
