What this feature does

When you want to get out the door but don't want to plan every turn, Streets can generate a random route. Create a route by distance, time, steps, or calories, choose a loop that brings you back to the start or a one-way walk, ask Streets to reduce overlap with already visited streets, and turn a random route into a planned route.
