Pathfinder

Created on 27 Nov 2015

Whenever you're lost, the Pathfinder can find your way back!

The Pathfinder remembers the path it takes. With one button press, it can backtrack its way back to the original location. There is also an advanced feature that allows it to take the shortest path back.
