The navigation system breaks each hike into practical sections, using landmarks, terrain cues, trail junctions, direction changes, and recognizable features to help you determine where you are and what to look for next. Key decision points are highlighted so you can pay closer attention where a missed turn or unclear route could affect your progress.
