How can landmarks help verify the outbound corridor in a busy area?

• A. They provide quick cross-checks to confirm you are on the intended street
• B. They are unreliable in busy areas and should be ignored
• C. Landmarks replace GPS entirely
• D. They only help after arrival

Answer: (A)

Using landmarks as you navigate an outbound corridor means checking real-world features against what your plan expects to see, so you can confirm you’re on the right street. In a busy area, GPS can be disrupted by signal reflections, traffic, or detours, so a quick visual cross-check with familiar landmarks keeps you oriented fast. Before you start, identify distinctive landmarks along the route—tall signs, storefronts with unique signage, bridges, hospital buildings, or other standout features—and use them as milestones. As you approach each landmark, verify it matches the corridor you’re supposed to be on; if it doesn’t, re-check your map and adjust your route accordingly with the next reliable landmark. Landmarks offer a fast, intuitive way to stay on course, working with GPS rather than replacing it, and they’re useful at any point during the transit, not just after arrival.
