**STEP 5:** After tapping a location on the map, choose your route preference (walking or stair-free) by tapping the Go button on the destination information card. If your location isn't detected, pan your camera left and right to scan your surroundings.

**STEP 6:** Once the app finds your location, you can begin routing. The blue dot represents your position and will move while you move.
