This article will show you how to use the Guide Me feature to:
- Get straight-line guidance from your location to the start of a track, route or a waypoint
- Get guidance along a track or route
- Backtrack from the end of the track or route to the start
Guide Me does not provide turn-by-turn directions, however, you can choose to get directions to a waypoint in Google Maps if you have an internet connection. To do that, select 'driving directions' from your saved waypoint page.
