Everything in Yut starts from one screen: a live map with you in the middle. Here is what each part does.
The map screen, ready to record.
- Status capsule — reads Yut now, RECORDING with a timer while you record, or PAUSED.
- Coordinate card — latitude, longitude, elevation and how accurate the fix is. Tap its arrow to fold it into a small pill.
- You. The blue dot is your position; the cone shows which way the phone faces.
- Drop pin — marks the spot where you are. See Pins.
- Map style — choose what the map looks like.
- Tracking options — every setting: theme, layers, units, history and more.
- North up / Heading up — turns the map to face the way you go.
- Recenter — brings the map back to you after you've moved it.
- Credits for the map and any layers that are on.

- Start tracking — begins recording a route.
