Walkthrough

Every step of the in-app guided tour (Coachmark) — intro, Terrain deep dive, Historical Imagery deep dive

The app ships a guided tour (Coachmark) that auto-starts on first visit, or any time from Settings → Take the Tour. It's five shared intro steps, then a fork — go deeper on Terrain visualization tools, or jump into Historical Imagery. This page walks through every step of both branches as a screenshot gallery; the in-app tour itself is generally the faster way to get oriented — open the app with the tour running ↗ (or click any thumbnail below to zoom in, then arrow-key through the rest).
