The feature provides a set of directional arrows at the top of the Apple Maps interface in navigation mode that indicate which lane your vehicle should be in to exit a freeway or complete a turn. Lane guidance is available in Maps for iPhone, iPad and CarPlay.

Lane guidance expands to more markets
Back in January, lane guidance expanded to New Zealand, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden after going live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the UKÂ last November.
Although the Maps app has not received any outward-facing new user features in iOS 12, the company’s CarPlay feature has picked up much-needed support for third-party navigation apps from the likes of Goole, Waze, TomTom and others. These apps are displayed right on your car’s dash next to your favorite music, messaging, calling and automaker apps.
