## What is Trail Scout GPS?

Trail Scout GPS helps hikers and outdoor enthusiasts find their way back to the trail. Load a GPX or KML file and the app continuously shows your straight-line distance and bearing to the nearest point on the trail.

Trail Tab
See your trail on a map with your current location and the closest trail point marked. Coordinates update in real time as you move.

Scout Tab
A large directional arrow points you toward the trail. When the arrow turns green, you're pointed the right way. Distance updates continuously so you always know how far you are.

Apple Watch
Glance at your wrist for distance and bearing without reaching for your phone.

Supports GPX and KML files. Distance is in miles or kilometers.
