Navigation & Directions

Navigate to a single point, along a planned route, or back the way you came — by compass needle or on the map.

From the Add sheet or any pin, request a routed path:

Car & Walking PRO

Turn-based road routing.

Hiking, Trekking Bike, Mountain Bike, River PRO

Outdoor routing profiles that follow trails and terrain rather than roads. Every generated route gets an elevation-colored line and profile.

A full-screen compass with the bearing and distance to the target — classic land-nav, works with the phone in your hand.

Direct Line

A straight line to the target drawn on the map, with live range as you move.

Routed navigation PRO

Car or walking route to the pin, followed on the map.

navigating a route

Open a saved route and tap Navigate. Choose Compass Navigation (bearing and distance to the next waypoint) or Map-Based Navigation PRO (the route highlighted on the map with progress tracking). You can start from the route's start, its finish, or the nearest point.
