sampo. turns your walks into maps you can share. WALK AND REMEMBER Tap "sampo." to start a walk. Your distance, time and route are recorded, and the places where you stopped are kept for you. Name the ones worth remembering — the café, the bath, the view — and skip the traffic lights. Share the day's walk as a single image when you like. CHECK IN IN TWO TAPS Places you have been before come up first, so recording where you are takes a moment. Add photos, a note, and a thumbs up or down for next time. At well-known spots, you get a short note about the place. FIND PLACES ON THE MAP Search the map, tap a café or a shrine, and save it. You can see which public maps already include that place. MAKE A MAP Pick places from your walks or the spots you saved, and they become a single map in the order you chose. Save it and you get a URL. SEND IT AS A GIFT Anyone can open the URL in a browser — no app, no account. Google Maps lists are for yourself; sampo. maps are for showing someone else. FIND OTHER PEOPLE'S MAPS Browse maps made by people who actually walked there: bath-hopping towns, old shopping streets, film locations, favourite cafés. LOOK BACK Awards mark what you have built up — check-ins, places, countries, walking days and distance. No streaks, no rankings. YOUR RECORDS STAY YOURS Walk routes, ratings and who you were with are never made public. Your home location stays on your iPhone.
