The route, followed
A live map with the turns called out, and a way back whenever you wander off it.
In four languages
English, French, Spanish and Arabic — the words and the voice, not just the labels.
Or build your own
Pick the places you actually want and the app works out the order to walk them in.
The unglamorous things
Toilets, pharmacies, cash points and water, without leaving the walk.
No signal needed
