giving directions
Explaining the route
Giving directions is explaining how to get somewhere, whether by describing a route, naming landmarks, or specifying turns and distances: She's terrible at giving directions—we ended up completely lost.
The phrase extends to any instructions for completing a task: The manual does a poor job of giving directions for assembly.
