Say why it recalculates
Why Maps redraws the route when you miss a turn.
Maps watches your dot against the line it drew. When the two part, it builds a new route from where you are.
Nothing has gone wrong, and there is no penalty.
Key points
- Maps rebuilds the route from wherever you are
- The destination stays as you set it
What to remember
- A missed turn costs minutes, and nothing else.
- Missing a turn changes the route, never the destination.
Try this
On your next drive with directions on, take a wrong turn near home. Watch it recover.
