Stop Maps from refreshing and losing the route

I don’t get a cell signal in my parking spot at my home. So I try to look up directions when I’m leaving the house so they’re ready to go when I get in the car and pull out. But I’m always thwarted because the app will refresh and the location and directions I just pulled up disappear. I have to input the location and search for directions again either while I’m driving (dangerous!) or just after I’ve pulled out of my parking spot and have signal again, blocking the entrance/exit to the parking structure for anyone who needs to pass. It seems insane that they would design a navigation app that won’t let you pull up directions until seconds before you’re ready to start driving — am I missing something? Is there a way to get the map to temporarily save the location/directions until you’re ready for them.

This surely can't be Apple Maps.


If you encounter any challenges with third-party applications, the best course of action is to directly contact the app developer for further assistance. Here's a brief guide on how to do it:


  1. Identify the app developer.
  2. Visit their website or app store listing.
  3. Look for their contact information or support channels.
  4. Clearly describe the issue you are facing.
  5. Provide any necessary information they may need.
  6. Follow their instructions and provide feedback.
  7. Be patient and follow up if needed.


By reaching out to the app developer, you increase your chances of receiving accurate and personalized support for the challenges you're experiencing. To contact an App developer --> How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
