Using “Go To” Waypoints:

A “Go To” Waypoint is a waypoint indicating your planned destination. It can be either the final destination of your hike or some important place along your way.

HOW TO	DO THIS
Set a “Go To” waypoint	Add the waypoint if it is not already on the list. Tap the Waypoint Name. Tap the “Go To” button.
Clear a “Go To” waypoint	Tap the name of the “Go To” Waypoint (shown in green). Tap the “Cancel Go To” button.

After setting a “Go To” waypoint on the Waypoints page, the top bar of the “My Location” page looks like this: The Estimated Time of Arrival is recalculated every few seconds, based on the trail just traveled since the “Go To” waypoint was set, and assuming that the trail ahead is similar in twistiness, steepness, and direction. The ETA will not appear until you have hiked a couple of minutes with track recording turned on, so your speed can be more accurately determined.

The elevation difference will be shown only if the “Go To” waypoint has an altitude entry.

If your iOS device does not have a built-in compass or your speed exceeds 20 miles per hour, then the Course (the direction you are moving) will be shown instead of the compass reading.
