Orbit is a walking route planner built around you — your time, your steps, your pace, and where you feel like going. Open Orbit and answer four simple questions, then start walking: How long have you got? Where should it end? What would you like to pass? Here's your walk. Answer as little or as much as you like — skip straight to a plain loop, or spend a minute adding the stops you fancy. Either way you get turn-by-turn walking directions, personalized pace guidance, and a route that adapts to how you actually walk. Whether you're exploring somewhere new, getting your daily steps in, or trying to build a regular walking habit, Orbit helps make every walk feel purposeful. HOW LONG HAVE YOU GOT? Set a time or step goal and choose your pace — Relaxed, Regular, Brisk or Fast. You're not an average walker, so Orbit doesn't treat you like one: it measures your natural pace and stride using Apple Health, then learns from every walk you complete to keep improving your routes. WHERE SHOULD IT END? Choose Route to loop back to where you started or walk on to a place you pick, or choose Open to set out with no fixed route at all. Turn on Smart Turnaround within Open and Orbit keeps checking the way back, so you always know when it's time to turn around. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PASS? Add stops along the way, and combine as many as you like — a nearby park, a café or pub, landmarks ranked by popularity with pictures to choose from, or search for anywhere you fancy. Orbit shows you the minimum time your stops will add, so you know before you commit whether they fit your goal. HERE'S YOUR WALK Orbit keeps searching until it finds a route that actually fits — within a minute of your time, or five percent of your distance — instead of settling for the first loop that's merely close enough. Loops are quicker to generate too, and double back on themselves far less. TWO MORE WAYS TO WALK Draw — Sketch a route on the map with your finger and Orbit snaps it to real walkable streets and paths. History — Pick a favorite walk from your history and Orbit rebuilds it from wherever you're standing today. BUILD A WALKING HABIT My Week helps turn individual walks into a routine. Set a weekly time or step goal, plan particular walking sessions or let Orbit automatically count walking activity recorded by Apple Health. Orbit can also learn when you naturally tend to walk and suggest a walk around the times that already fit your routine. And with forgiving streaks, one rest day each week can protect your progress when life gets in the way. SMART WALKING GUIDANCE • Turn-by-turn GPS walking directions • Spoken directions so your phone can stay in your pocket • Real-time pace coaching • Automatic rerouting if you go off course • Route reshuffle when you want a different way • Pause and resume your walk anytime • Quick Return when you need to head back early • Live Activities and Dynamic Island support • Live progress for time, distance, steps and pace APPLE WATCH Take Orbit to your wrist with Apple Watch. Get haptic turn alerts, see your next direction at a glance, follow your pace and progress, and pause, resume or finish your walk without constantly taking out your phone. TRACK YOUR JOURNEY • Detailed walk history with route maps • Re-walk favorite routes • Weekly walking goals and progress • Streaks and achievements • Apple Health integration • Apple Watch support • iCloud sync across your devices From five minutes around the block to an afternoon exploring somewhere new, Orbit helps you find a walk that fits.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mr.Walkway at none against Orbit's shown. Mr.Walkway also leads on iOS requirement (15.4 vs 17.0). Orbit's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
