Draw directions between two points

Plot driving directions between any two points on your map. The Draw Directions panel can route between markers, searched places, or street addresses. You do not need any markers on the map to create a directions line.

Open the Draw Directions panel

You can open the panel in any of these ways:

• Quick actions: Press Ctrl + / (or Cmd + / on Mac), type "directions", and choose "Plot Directions".
• From a marker: Right-click a marker (or tap its 3-dot menu) and choose "Plot Directions". The marker is pre-filled as your start point.
• From a marker's info bubble: Select a marker with the Edit/Measure Tool and click the Car Icon.
• Ask Scribble AI: Ask Mappy to "open the directions panel".

Set the start and end points

The panel has two slots: a start and an end. Both work the same way.

1. Click the slot and start typing. You can search for a place, a street address, or one of your map markers by title.
2. Click a suggestion to set it. The slot shows the selected marker's icon (or the location name) once set.
3. To change a point, click the slot's pencil icon and pick again.

Tip: If you opened the panel from a marker, the start is already filled in. Just set the end point.

Draw the directions

1. Once both the start and end are set, the "DRAW DIRECTIONS" button activates. Click it.
2. When processing completes, the "Directions Plotted" message appears. Click "Ok".

The directions line is added to your map. If your end point was a searched place rather than a marker, a finish-flag marker is added at the destination automatically.

Options

• Level Of Detail controls how closely the line follows the road network. Higher values follow roads more precisely.
• Times On Map adds the estimated travel time as a label on the directions line.
