  2. Use the search bar to find a knowledge point by name or address.
  3. Open the menu button to switch between Explore points, Pen, Resources, My Runs, My Bike Lists, Points revision, and Account.
  4. Hide pins by tapping the icon in the top-left corner.
  5. Tap the filter button below the pin button to filter pins by colour or saved run pins.

Pins And Colours

Pins mark the knowledge points. Each colour is a rating you can use to track progress.
