The Checkpoint Arrow is the arrow hovering above the vehicle and the main tool for guiding the player through each checkpoint and to the Finish Line. The arrow stays green as long as the 'next' checkpoint is ahead, and changes to yellow when the player's vehicle is heading the wrong way. In Multiplayer, the arrow is used to guide the player to the gold and into the hideout or the bank.
Overview
The Checkpoint Arrow is located above the player's vehicle and below the Clock. All races have pre-defined 'standard' routes, and the arrow points to the next checkpoint in accordance with the standard route. During a race, the arrow can be reconfigured to point to the nearest checkpoint by using the 'Toggle Waypoint' command (W key). This is commonly used in Checkpoint Races, wherein the standard route is usually not the best one.
