Map layers

Layers are extra information drawn over the map: who may drive a forest road, how steep a slope is, whose land you're on, where it's raining. They're all off until you turn them on, and you can combine as many as you like.

1. 1

   Tap Tracking options on the map screen.

2. 2

   Tap Map layers (it says how many are on, such as 2 on).

3. 3

   Flip the switch beside any layer. Tap ‹ Tracking to go back; the map shows it at once.

The legend

When a layer that uses colours is on, a legend card under the coordinate card explains them: access classes, trail difficulty, slope bands, land managers and map symbols. Turn it off in Tracking options under Map → Legend.
