✨Guides
A guide is a collection of locations on your Apple Maps app. While I plan my trip, I load all of my activates and locations into a Guide for that city! Hotels, airports, main transportation hubs and any attractions or restaurants I may want to see on my trip.
This gives me easy access to a pre-vetted list of things for me to do so I can see what's close by for exploring! This will also stop you from planning to see something to far away. These stay in your Maps app so you can also reference it when sharing your trip with friends and even text it to them.
✨Airline Text
If you are flying on your trip, text yourself (and your emergency contact) your flight number. This will show you your flight in real time! Plus the flights before and after yours on this plane. You can also swipe to the prior flight to see if the flight before yours is delayed. This will also show you the flights status and gate, if available.
✨Drop a Pin
Save a location that isn't on the map to a phone contact or to a Guide. This is great for remote locations, unmarked businesses and even remembering where you parked your car.
