To remove a pin, tap the
icon and then tap the Remove Pin button.
If you tap and hold the screen to drop a new pin, the previous one disap-
pears. You can have only one purple pin on the map at one time.
I used to think that getting and printing directions from a mapping
service on my computer was pretty cool, but now I don't even bother
with the paper. It's easy to get directions between two locations in the
Maps app—and not just driving directions, but walking and bus routes,
too (where that information is available).
1.
Tap the Directions button in the upper-left corner to switch to
Directions mode. The Search field splits into two fields: the starting
point and the destination. The iPad assumes you want to start at your
current location.
2.
Enter a destination by performing a search in the second field
(
Figure 9.10
).

Searching for
a destination
To change the starting point, tap the first field and enter a search term
or address. If you had previously dropped a pin, you can select its loca-
tion by tapping the first field and selecting the address in purple text.
If you're viewing information about an address, tap the Directions
From Here or Directions To Here button to initiate a search.
