Apple Maps in iOS 18 Might Get Custom Routes

Apple could be planning a new feature for Apple Maps that allows users to create custom routes. This news comes from code discovered in an iOS 18 file by developer Nicolas Alvarez and reported by MacRumors.

New Code Hints at Custom Route Creation

While details are scarce, a file named “CustomRouteCreation” was found within the Apple Maps back-end. This suggests that users might soon be able to plan trips with their preferred roads, potentially for scenic drives or familiarity with the route.

Currently, Apple Maps limits users to choosing from pre-selected options, with the ability to add stops afterwards.
