How do I plot a custom route in Apple Maps?

Why is this so difficult? It's 2022! I cannot believe how aggravating this is.

I want a simple, multi-stop custom route to plan my own trips.

Apple Maps - edit directions for a custom route I've loaded directions to a destination. I want to use the bike route. I know from looking at the map that going through a development rather than the main roads will be safer due to the main road not having sidewalks or bike lanes. How do I edit the Apple Map directions to make a route through the development's side streets that have sidewalks to get to my destination? Thanks

How do you adjust directions in Apple Maps How do you adjust the directions that Apple Maps gives you for a particular destination? If I want to go to Destination X, Apple Maps will give me route A and maybe some alternate routes (B or C). I know that I will want to take a different route completely from A, B, or C to Destination X because I'm planning a trip out in the future where traffic will be different, etc. etc. Is there any way to force Apple Maps to adjust the directions? I can't seem to drag the recommended route to make Apple Maps take me the way I want to go. Do I just add stops instead of trying to drag the route on the map?

That's not what Maps does.

You can create multiple locations in a "Guide" and run directions to the next as you work your way around.
