## What is Yardstik?

Yardstik allows you to measure both fixed and open-ended distances with ease:

• Simple Distance Tracking: Measure the distance traveled between starting and stopping your session.
• Target Distance Mode: Set a target distance and receive audio and haptic feedback upon reaching it.
• Interval Mode: Enable Interval Mode to get audio and haptic feedback each time you hit the set distance until you end the session.

Perfect for workout route planning, interval or recurring distance training, pacing distances, and general outdoor distance measurement activities.
