As you walk in your daily life, our app translates your footsteps into a virtual journey. How It Works: Imagine this: you decide to embark on a virtual walk from LA to Las Vegas. You invite friends to join you, even if they're far away from those locations. Every step you take in your real location contributes to this virtual walk. Our app tracks your progress and that of your friends, marking your virtual journey with map pins. Who will reach the destination first?
