Driving with Lyft Maps
You’ll see a larger, more clear map when picking up and dropping off passengers. When the Lyft app detects that your vehicle is in motion, it will show you a simpler map to help you stay focused on the road.
This image show what a route overview, turn-by-turn instructions, and pickup approach would like on Lyft Maps using your app.
During a ride, you can access important actions and information by swiping up on the bottom panel. You can also request emergency help on the menu, even while driving.
If you're done giving rides, tap 'Ride requests off’ to stop getting ride requests. Tap 'Ride requests on’ to turn them back on again.
Once your vehicle is stopped, the app will reveal more features.
