Viewing route details
Tap a saved route to see its details: distance, elevation gain/loss, estimated duration, and an elevation profile chart.
Following a route
From the route detail screen, tap 'Follow'. The app will display the route on the map with your real-time GPS position. A navigation bar shows your progress, distance covered, and distance remaining.
Off-track warnings
If you stray more than 50 meters from the route, Atlas Vault will alert you with a vibration and visual warning. When you return within 30 meters, the warning clears automatically.
Tip
- Download offline maps for the route area before starting your hike.
- Keep your phone charged — GPS tracking uses battery.
