Use Siri, Maps, and the Maps widget to get directions on iPod touch
You can get travel directions in the Maps app in several ways.
Important: To get directions, iPod touch must be connected to the internet, and Location Services must be turned on.
Use Siri to get directions
Siri: Say something like:
“Get directions to the nearest coffee shop”
“Find a charging station”
“Give me directions home”
Tip: To use “home” or “work” when asking Siri or searching in Maps, add your home and work addresses to My Card in Contacts.
Get directions in Maps
Do one of the following:
Tap a destination (for example, a landmark on a map or a spot that you marked with a pin).
Touch and hold anywhere on the map.
Tap the search field, begin typing, then tap a result.
Tap the directions button on the place card.
After you tap the directions button, you can choose a different mode of travel, a different starting point, and other options. See Select other route options in Maps on iPod touch.
Tap Go for the route you want.
After you tap Go, you can share your ETA, get an overview of your route, turn off spoken directions, and more while following driving, walking, and cycling directions. See Things you can do while following a route in Maps on iPod touch.

Use the Maps widget
To quickly get directions to a likely destination, add the Maps widget to your Home Screen.

Choose your default mode of travel
Maps defaults to your preferred way to travel when providing directions. To change your preference, do the following:
Tap your picture or initials at the top right of the search card, then tap Preferences.
If you don’t see your picture or initials, tap Cancel next to the search field, or tap the search field, then tap Cancel.
Tap Driving, Walking, Transit, or Cycling.
Depending on your mode of travel, you may be able to share your ETA, find a place to stop, and more while following directions. See Things you can do while following a route in Maps on iPod touch.
