Ithaca turns your walks into a map of the city you actually know. Start a walk and put your phone away. Ithaca records your route in the background and paints it onto the map — streets you walk once glow blue, the ones you walk every day burn red. Give it a few weeks and your city appears. TEN CITIES, SEVEN COUNTRIES London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Valencia, Athens, Thessaloniki, Paxos, Copenhagen and Oslo — each mapped down to its own districts, boroughs or arrondissements, with coverage tracked separately for every one.
