Before starting the trail, gather any measurement tools you might need. The trail’s information will specify which tools are required.

If you’ve already downloaded the trail, no internet connection is necessary outdoors.

Take the necessary measurements and calculate your solution.

Enter it in the answer field and click “Check” to save it.

You’ll receive feedback on whether the task was solved correctly. 

After solving a task or exceeding the allowed attempts, you can view the sample solution. To do this, click on the “Sample solution” field.

There you can see, for example, whether there are alternatives to your solution. If you are in the yellow range of the solution, you can see where you may have made measurement or calculation errors. 

Once the solution is accepted, a button will appear prompting you to proceed to the next task.

Click “Next Task” to display the map and the next recommended task.

You can click “Go to Task” or choose a different one. 

Clicking the three dots at the bottom opens additional features.

Firstly, you can click on the blue flag symbol. This will give you an overview of the trail’s tasks and you can also select which one you would like to work on next.

Secondly, you can click on the orange arrow symbol. This allows you to reset your progress on the tasks. If you want to do this, you must click on the arrow symbol and then confirm with “Yes”.

If you click on the X, these two fields will disappear, and the three dots will be displayed again.

Once the trail is downloaded, the blue button at the bottom of the screen changes to “Start Trail.” Click it to begin.

You’ll be asked if you want to start from a specific task. This is useful when multiple groups are participating, so they do not all begin at the same point.

Clicking “Yes” lets you choose a starting task.

Clicking “No” displays all tasks on the map so you can pick one, such as the one closest to your location. 

Click on the “Browse Trails” field on the start page.

This will open a page of trails located near your current location.

At the top of the search bar, you can search by the name of a trail or the city where it’s located.
