## What is Lumaris POINT?

Your walk is around the block. You don't have to be.

POINT turns the walking you already do into a journey somewhere else. Point yourself in a direction, choose a distance, and set off. Your real distance, tracked by your phone's GPS, carries you along a real route through London, Paris, Tokyo, Jerusalem's Old City or Wrigley Field. As you go, POINT tells you what you're passing. Out loud, so your phone can stay in your pocket.

At the end you're somewhere. And then you get a different way home, because the best part of any journey is the road you didn't take on the way out.

WHO ARE YOU TODAY

The same street has more than one story, so you choose which one you're told. Walk as the Professor and you get the history. As the Rock Star, the studio where the record was cut. Michelin Mood finds what's worth eating. The A-Lister goes where the A-Listers go. Same route, same distance, different city entirely.

WHAT IT DOES

Land: your real walk moves you along a virtual route through a real place, with real landmarks named as you pass them.

Water: your real time in a pool carries you across real crossings: the English Channel, the Hellespont, the Florida Straits, Alcatraz. Progress accumulates across sessions. Nobody swims the Channel in an afternoon.

Ride: any exercise bike, timed, counted toward the same journeys.

Indoors: a treadmill counts. Your phone can't see satellites in a gym, so POINT counts your time, or your treadmill's own distance if you'd rather type it in. It says which it used.

Atlas: everything you've walked and swum, collected as places rather than as workouts.

Ask Siri to start a walk, and POINT opens ready to go.

ALONG THE WAY

Where there's a photograph of the place you just passed, it comes up on the screen: the real building, credited to the person who took it.

And when a place has a song in it, POINT offers you the song. Abbey Road asks if you'd like the Beatles. A Latin Quarter cellar asks about jazz. Tap it and your own music app opens at the track. POINT never plays anything itself, and there is nothing extra to subscribe to.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO

No streaks. No goals. No rings to close. Nothing counts down at you and nothing turns a rest day into a failure. A short walk is reported exactly as warmly as a long one.

No account, no sign-in, no cloud. Your walk stays on your phone: nothing about it is uploaded, and nothing is sold. To tell you what you are passing, POINT asks OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia and a weather service what is near a set of coordinates. It sends the place, never the person. There is no name, no account, and no Lumaris server behind any of it.

No competing against other people. There is no leaderboard and there never will be.

FORTUNE COOKIE

Instead of a score, a fortune. One line, built from your own real numbers and delivered by something with no manners whatsoever.

"12.6 miles walked. In fairness, the ground did most of it."

A challenge in disguise, never a telling-off. Nobody has ever demanded that a fortune cookie be peer-reviewed, which is exactly why it is allowed to be funny.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT MEASURES

POINT records the walks you carry your phone on, and says so. Where it cannot measure something, it shows a dash rather than a guess. Where a figure is estimated rather than counted, the estimate says so on the same line. Every historical note is sourced, and where a distance is somebody else's measurement rather than ours, the app says whose.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-27

POINT now plays the music.

Original instrumentals, written for the places you walk, playing inside the app. Tap PLAY MUSIC on the walk screen. You get the track name, one line about it, and skip forward or back with one tap. You never leave the map. It keeps playing with the screen off, and the narration talks over the music rather than cutting it off.

Thirteen pieces in this release. Nine for Route 66, one for every state it crosses and one for the detour, in road order from Illinois to California. Four for Chicago.

Route 66 now runs end to end. It begins at Adams and Michigan, where the Begin Historic Route 66 sign stands, and it finishes at the pier in Santa Monica. On the way out it names the corner at Olympic and Lincoln, because that is where the road officially ended. The famous sign on the pier came later, and the app says so.

Set the Mood is two switches now. Play music, or do not. Suggest a scent, or do not. Nothing alternates and nothing guesses.

Still free. No account, no ads, nothing uploaded, nothing sold.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-25

No release notes.
