Direction to the destination tells you one thing: which way to go. A big arrow and the remaining distance — that's it. If maps confuse you or you have no sense of direction, just follow the arrow. Version 2.0 is a complete redesign. ■ Just follow the arrow Pick a destination and a large arrow points toward it. Turn your iPhone any way you like — the arrow keeps pointing at your destination. ■ Two modes: Straight and Walk Straight shows the direction and straight-line distance to the destination itself. Walk follows the actual walking route and shows which way to head right now, plus the distance left. Walking routes come from Apple Maps. ■ Arrival alert When you get close, you'll feel a tap and see a message — once. Choose what counts as "arrived": 30 m, 50 m or 100 m. ■ Wrong-way hint If you keep walking away from your destination, the app lets you know, gently. ■ Find a place Search by name or address, or move the map to drop the pin exactly where you want to go. ■ History and favorites Places you've navigated to are saved in your history (up to 50). Add favorites to start with one tap from the home screen. ■ Map in the background (optional) Show a faint map behind the arrow and adjust how strong it is. Off by default. Need turn-by-turn? Open the destination in Apple Maps. ■ Apple Watch Choose a destination on your iPhone and the arrow appears on your Apple Watch too. Favorites and recent places can be started right from the Watch. The Watch uses its own GPS and compass. ■ Works offline For saved favorites and history, Straight mode shows the direction and distance even without a connection. ■ Easy to read Kilometers or miles, three arrow colors, Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. ■ Privacy Your location is used only on your device, to work out the direction and distance. Your location, destinations and history are never shared with advertisers. No account needed. ■ About ads The app is free. To keep it running, ads appear at the bottom of the arrow screen and on the arrival screen. Watch a short video in Settings to hide all ads for the rest of the day. There are no ads in search, the map, permission screens or on Apple Watch. Note: Direction is measured with the compass, so accuracy may drop near steel buildings, cars or magnets.
