Pullouts are designated places where you may pull off the road. The Panoramas show what the wildlife watchers see using their spotting scopes. Sights are physical features that can be seen from Pullouts or on Maps & might be a large area (e.g., a mountain, meadow, river or forest) or might be a single object (e.g., a tree or a rock). Many Sight names were created by the wildlife watchers to communicate locations of wildlife. Some names used in this app are unofficial & not shown on approved NPS Maps.

From the Section Maps, you can select a Pullout. Alternatively, you can Search for a Pullout by name. The app presents details for the selected Pullout, incl. Panoramas showing Sights & Latitude/Longitude. You can navigate from the selected Pullout to a different Pullout. There are a few named Pullouts, identified as "Lat/Lon only", where no photos were taken. You can use the Spot Me function to show your current location (incl. GPS coordinates) on Maps used in the app. The Park Map tab shows your location in relation to the app's Parts & the Pullouts you've most recently viewed. If you're located in one of the Parts defined in the app, your location is also shown on the Section Map tab. On the Pullout details, you can select the Spotting Scope icon to see digiscoped images of selected Sights. You can touch the Yellowstone Wolves: The Years app icon in the upper right corner. If it's installed, that app shows which Wolf Pack(s) might be seen from that Pullout for that year. Conversely, while viewing a Wolf Pack in the Yellowstone Wolves: The Years app, you can touch the Yellowstone SPOTR icon in the app bar. You see the Pullouts in Yellowstone SPOTR where that Wolf Pack might be seen. You can Search for a Sight by name. The app shows the Pullouts from which the Sight can be seen. For example, you could Search for the Bear Meadow Sight & learn that it can be seen from several Pullouts. You could select one of these Pullouts & swipe through its Panoramas. You could then select any of the other Pullouts. The USGS Maps used in the app show features where wildlife might be seen. These features are called Map Sights. You can Search for these by name. The app shows the feature highlighted on a Map. Some Map Sights can also be seen from Pullouts so the Search result contains both. First-time users, unfamiliar with the names of Pullouts & Sights, should start with the Browse function. You can Browse through Pullouts & Sights. Choosing each of these Browse functions & perusing the images presented provides familiarity for using the Search function. Wi-Fi access is not needed to use the app.
