Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a device to at least:
display, on a user display, a preoperative model corresponding to a mapped portion of a luminal network of a patient, the preoperative model comprising at least a first segment and an end of the first segment, the end of the first segment adjacent to an unmapped portion of the luminal network;
determine a position of a distal end of an instrument that is adapted to be positioned within the luminal network relative to the end of the first segment and the unmapped portion of the luminal network;
enter a path tracing mode in response to the position of the distal end of the instrument reaching a predetermined distance from the end of the first segment;
display, on the user display, a branch junction in the unmapped portion of the luminal network, the branch junction having a plurality of branch segments navigable from the branch junction;
indicate, using a first type of visual indicia at the branch junction, that at least one branch segment of the plurality of branch segments is unexplored;
determine that the distal end of the instrument has navigated every branch segment of the plurality of branch segments; and
in response to the determination that the distal end of the instrument has navigated every branch segment of the plurality of branch segments, replace the first type of visual indicia with a second type of visual indicia at the branch junction.
