The planner can print the selected route's summary and turn list. It does not currently generate a permanent shareable route URL, so use the browser's Save as PDF option or send the verified origin, destination, and route notes separately.
Print directions from the planner
- Create a route from the starting point to the destination.
- Select the intended option in the Routes tab.
- Open the Steps tab and scan the instructions.
- Select Print.
- In the browser dialog, choose a printer or Save as PDF.
The print view includes the endpoint names, selected route time and distance, and the maneuver list. Confirm that the browser did not truncate pages before saving or printing.
What to add outside the turn list
- Destination phone number or official contact
- Entrance, gate, terminal, or parking instructions
- Appointment or check-in time
- One safe fallback for a known closure or weak-signal segment
- Date and time the route was prepared
Do not place passwords, gate codes, medical details, or other sensitive information in a file that may be forwarded.
Share a PDF without creating version confusion
Name the file with the route and date, such as Airport-to-Hotel-2026-07-19.pdf. If the route changes, send a clearly labeled replacement and ask recipients to delete the old copy. A static PDF will not update for traffic or closures.
Share endpoints for someone using their own app
Send the full origin and destination addresses plus the verified entrance pin when needed. State whether the recipient should use the attached printed route or calculate a current route in their own app. If a particular road must be avoided for a legal or access reason, explain why.
When paper is valuable
- Weak-signal travel
- A passenger reading steps
- Multi-driver or vehicle handoff
- Battery or device failure
- A destination with complicated arrival instructions
Printed directions are a backup, not permission to follow an obsolete road. Posted signs, closures, and current conditions remain authoritative.
Privacy and accessibility
Remove an exact home address when a nearby meeting point is sufficient. Use readable type, high contrast, and plain-language entrance notes. For a driver with a passenger, assign the passenger to read or update the plan; a solo driver should pull over before consulting detailed pages.
Handoff check
- Correct route selected before printing
- Date and version visible
- Entrance and parking note included
- Sensitive information removed
- Recipient knows the document will not update automatically
