Direction indicator navigation app

Hello

When using the Navigation app in the car I have a nice current-place locater

with an arrow indication the current direction I'm looking in.

That way I won't have to move my iPhone to know the direction

I need to go to. So that's okay.

But how do I get the same direction-indicator (or that responsive) when using that navigation

app when walking? Than I just have a blue doth with a shadow-like indicator

pointing in the totally wrong way.

tl;dr

How to get a good direction-indicator on the Navigation app when walking? The same you get when driving.

Thanks!

Hi, ThatNiel.

I see you'd like to see direction indicators when you're using Maps on your iPhone while walking. I'm happy to help.
iOS - Feature Availability -- This article provides which iOS features are available in your country.

Use Maps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Get directions

Open Maps and enter your destination in the Search bar.

Tap Directions.

Choose Drive, Walk, Transit, or Ride.

Select the route that you prefer. Maps shows the fastest route first based on traffic conditions.

When you're ready, tap .

To end navigation, tap , in the bottom-right corner. Then tap End Route.

When you start moving, Maps updates its position to give you a better sense of direction. You can also use your finger to scroll ahead to see any obstructions on your route. And with iOS 11, Maps helps you avoid missing a turn or an exit by suggesting the lane you should be in while driving. You can also see the speed limit of the road you're currently on.

Cheers!
