How to disable automatic destination setting in Apple Maps

Lately Maps has been doing something quite annoying. When I turn on the car Maps comes up and automatically sets a destination. Usually it is home, if I'm not home. When I am home it sometimes will just randomly pick a destination usually from my Maps library.


I can't figure out how to turn this annoying feature off. Instead, I'm often trying to cancel out of it while I'm driving, which is something of a safety concern. Occasionally I cancel out of the destination but a few minutes into my ride it sets another one.


Help!!

To disable automatic destination setting in Apple Maps, navigate to Settings > Maps > Siri & Search and then toggle off "Show Siri Suggestions in App" and any other relevant suggestion options. This will prevent Apple Maps from automatically suggesting locations based on past behavior or calendar events.
