turn-by-turn

GPS navigation style

Turn-by-turn describes directions given sequentially as you move, rather than all at once: The app provides turn-by-turn navigation.

Each instruction arrives just before the relevant point—turn left here, merge right in 500 feet.

The term emerged with GPS navigation systems and has become standard for any guided routing.
