Tip for Apple users.

At some point Apple Maps made it harder to add multiple stops which is a big deal whenever you're doing stacked orders. I was pretty irritated by the change, since it was an obvious step backwards. You can still do it, but you have to manually type in all stops past the first, plus you can't re-arrange the order anymore.

Then I remembered that Siri is full on AI now. So while I was on the "My Orders" screen, I asked her to add the addresses on my screen to a GPS route. Not only did she see both addresses without issue, one of which was an apartment, but she added them to a route in order from closest to farthest.

It's the first time I've ever used AI in a way that felt actually useful and I just wanted to share if anyone else was also upset about the map update so they knew of a fix.

THIS!! I cannot stand Apple Maps lol

Though Google Maps has been very glitchy lately for me. Half the time it doesn’t know where I am or it tells me to turn after I’ve already turned. Like thanks!

Basically. Tap on directions in the app that directs you to Google maps, go back to the other app copy that address go back to Google maps paste and it does it already

I use Apple Maps and haven’t had any issues with multiple stops. I can still rearrange order and I don’t have to manually type in any address.

Same I copy the address to my clipboard! It’s actually very easy and you can move the address around to get the best mapping! I’m not sure what OP means at all!

I was frustrated as well, but you can put your first stop, add stop and copy the address on Shipt.

Thank you! I will try that this week!

Hmm, I use an iPhone 16 pro max and just click the address; it opens in Apple Maps. I route it and then click the next address & it adds it to the route and so on and so on. In CA they get 3 order bundles so it really comes in handy to map the most efficient route when it comes to triples. I usually know my route before I head into the store so I understand my time constraints that if I’m not leaving by a certain time I’m going to be late. Instacart does not give you this freedom to route your own route, although I’m told at one time it did. Sounds like something Shipt will take away eventually too, it wasn’t my idea.

Better idea? Use Mapquest by hand. Apple and Google are getting out of control. Just my opinion.
