How do supply lines and squads work?
If you stand by a yak that is in transit it will show its destination on the map (Orange circle with white star in center like any escort objective). They travel along the road.
Squads are fairly useless. You cant see the other commanders if in a squad so you are limiting the information you receive. I never use them.
Here’s a quick example of supply routes for the Borderland areas.
Not sure what to tell you about the squad thing. I like them, I think they work very well. But to each their own. All in all, you’ll get a lot more information about WvW by browsing the WvW forums. Read the stickies there, if you haven’t yet.

Squads are very useful if your guild is fielding one Commander on a map and you don’t want to follow the wrong one off a cliff (When you join a squad, all other Commander icons are hidden).
