Navigation

You can open turn-by-turn directions to any pin, route, area, or teammate directly from Flaresat.

How to navigate​

  1. Tap any pin, route, area, or team member on the map (or in the List View).
  2. In the detail panel that appears, tap Navigate.
  3. Your device opens the directions in your default maps app:
    • iOS → Apple Maps
    • Android → Google Maps
    • Web → Google Maps in a new tab

For routes, navigation goes to the first point of the route (the trailhead), not the geographic center.

Tips​

  • Navigation hands off to your native maps app — Flaresat does not provide turn-by-turn directions itself.
  • The destination coordinates come directly from the pin's stored position, so they are as accurate as when the pin was placed.
  • You can navigate to a teammate's last known location the same way — tap their avatar and tap Navigate.
