How to Use iPhone Maps App to Find Your Destination

Firstly, tap on the My Location icon first. Then iPhone or iPad pinpoints your location > Type what you're looking for into the Search field. No city and state needs to be typed.

If you don't tap on the My Location icon first, you must enter what you're looking for followed by the city and the state to find local search results. Or the Maps app defaults to the last search location.

How to Use the Location Screen to Find More

If you want to find more information for a location on a map, tap on any push-pins. Then, on tap the left side of the information banner to get "Quick" turn-by-turn directions from your current location. Or tap on the Info icon on the right side of the listing to view an interactive location screen, like phone numbers, address, website URL, etc.

The information displayed depends upon whether it's a business, restaurant, landmark, point of interest or tourist attraction. If you look up information about a restaurant, the location screen includes Yelp!-related information, like the type of food served, the menu price range, the hours of operations and potentially a website link that you can view the restaurant's menu, and know whether this restaurant delivers or accepts reservations.

Moreover, when scroll down on the Location screen, you'll find a Directions To Here and Directions From Here option.
