    The thing that continues to disappoint me is the lack of ability to add waypoints (if I am using the correct term) e.g., ‘planning a trip from Houston to SF in 3 days— with side trips to the crater, Carlsbad Caverns; want to travel I10 W till I get to point where I can exit to each side trip, visit said places & then be able to turnaround to go back to I10. I would also include 2 overnight stays along the main route in say El Paso & Las Vegas. I don’t want to break this up into 5 or more trips. I want to travel along this route and check distances from current. Location to any of these points mentioned. Would be difficult if broken up into routes for each segment!’

    Am I missing something or is this really only good for day trips?
    Unless I misunderstood your comment, have you not tried using Add Stops in Maps? I plan trips with multiple via points (Stops) by defining points and then adding points/stops to the route (sometimes I have to drag the stops to the right order), but it seems to work fine and gives me complicated trips. I don't remember what the limit is on the number of stops you can have on a route.

    There seems to be a serious problem related to planning and plotting custom hikes. If you go to plan a custom trail hike, you can only do so (for starting, via, and end points) on pathways that are in Apple's data base. So if you are in the boonies and there is no road or track in their data base you cannot plan a custom hike (or at least I have not been able to do so unless there was a pre-existing path or road showing up in Maps). So the trailhead and trails feature is nice for existing trails, but forget trying to plan your own trails if their paths/roads don't appear in Maps.
