How to Follow a Route

Short answer

Open the Route details and tap FOLLOW ROUTE. STALKR keeps the line visible and shows progress, distance remaining, off-route state, and the next numbered Checkpoint when available.

Steps

  1. Open the saved Route.
  2. Tap FOLLOW ROUTE.
  3. Use the Follow Route HUD while moving.
  4. Tap STOP FOLLOWING when done.

How this works

Following reports progress against the saved line: distance remaining, whether you are off-route, and the next numbered Checkpoint where the Route has them. It does not route you around anything and it is not turn-by-turn navigation.

A followed Route stays drawn even when the Routes & Checkpoints layer is hidden. That is the one intentional exception to Map Layers, and STOP FOLLOWING is what clears it.

Following needs a usable current location and is foreground map guidance; no background navigation service runs behind it.

What happens next

The Follow Route HUD stays active until you tap STOP FOLLOWING.

Common problems

  • Following requires a usable current location.
  • This is path progress, not turn-by-turn road navigation.
  • Hiding the Routes layer will not remove a Route you are still following.

Questions this answers

  • How do I follow a Route?
  • Will STALKR give turn-by-turn directions?
  • Why is a followed Route still drawn?
