Closed my compass arrow. How to reopen

A quick search didn't help and I bet I'm not the only one to do this.

I accidentally closed that little compass arrow that normally shows you which way to the next streetpost and that tells you which one to take to follow the path you have set. How can I turn this back on?

  • i believe you just need to re-select the street you want to go to again. turn your GPS back on as it were..

  • Yep — that's it. Just click on a street on the map and choose "set as destination".

    Pro-tip: that little arrow? When you have a destination set, clicking on it will auto-navigate your Glitch to the next signpost (and clicking on it when next to a post with many signs will automatically choose the right one).

  • love that Pro-tip! I use my GPS all the time and I always think that maybe today my glitchan, when he gets to one of those busy intersections, will just select the proper street sign himself and cruise right on through...making me a proud papa.
    I'm so excited I think I'm gonna log back on and go for a test run!
    Thanks Stoot!

  • Yes, it was that easy to fix, but I'm glad I asked. That tip will make things easier. Thanks!

  • Pro-Pro-tip: You can click on an arrow while still doing an action and begin moving.  I can move through streets almost twice as fast by clicking on it as soon as the second harvesting bar starts.  You can't do this with the normal arrow keys.  You can use this movement in other ways such as walking a street while repairing tools or shaking butterfly milk.

  • Pro-Pro-Pro-tip:  Sometimes the tracker gets confused if you set another destination and you can't reset to the previous tracked location (the Set Destination box remains gray).  In this case just go to the Address box on your browser and change ?destination=0 at the end of the URL and hit ENTER.  This will reload the page and allow you to reselect your destination.
