The dog, named "Tsutchi Dotchi", can accurately see "north, south, east and west" wherever he is.

After five quizzes, the result will be displayed. If you answer these correctly, the quizzes will be extended to a maximum of 10 quizzes.

You can add landmarks yourself.

Reach the Destination Game

This is the game where always check which direction is "North" or "Destination" while moving from the current location to the destination.

Move 100m or more from the current location and then update the current location.
