    Hey Paul,

     

    You ask a great question about how to remove devices from the list of available devices to share to in the Apple Maps app on your Mac. I found the answer in Maps' help system - Get and send directions - Maps Help

     

    Under Send directions to your iOS device it states "Your iOS device must have iOS 7 or later and be signed into iCloud using the same Apple ID as your Mac." Thus in order to remove the device from that list you must sign out of iCloud on that device. You can do this by going to Settings > iCloud > go to the bottom of the list of services and select Sign Out.

     

    You may have to quit and relaunch the Maps application on your Mac for the changes to take effect.

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Happy computing.
