Follow a saved route on your iPhone and see, on one line, where to turn next, how far it is and which trail sign to look for. TrailRunner uses your location only while you follow, and only while the app is open.
Following works on iPhone. iPad and Mac do not have it.
| Turn tile | The next turn, in the same yellow tile the elevation scrubber uses. |
| Distance and time | How far it is to that turn and how long it takes, for example 350 m and 6 min · then left. A distance of 1,000 m or more is shown in km. |
| Trail signs | The waymark of the trail you are on. When the trail changes at the turn, two signs show, for example A → B. |
| Walked part | The part of the route behind you is drawn paler on the map. |
Drag the sheet up for more. First it shows when you arrive, the time left and the distance left. Further up is the elevation chart with your position on it. At the top, a last row shows today's sunset and your elevation above sea level.
When you leave the route, the strip says Off route and how far you are from it. TrailRunner plans the way from where you are to the next waypoint ahead and skips the part you cut off. The strip then shows where you are and the trail sign you rejoin. On open ground, away from any marked trail, a small figure stands for "where you are".
Tip: without map data for the area, the way back is a straight line to the waypoint. Download the region first to get a routed way back.
The … button at the right end of the strip opens:
