Draw on a map while walking around in the real world. Everyone is an artist. Go outside and embrace your creativity. With walk2draw you can choose between two modes. In fine mode it adds a point for each meter you move in the real world. In coarse mode the distance between points is ten meters. Coarse mode is perfect when you want to record a trip or your commuting. You can pause drawing which acts as like lifting the pen. The resulting image can be shared on social media or you can save it in your camera roll. I'd love to see the images you create, so please use the hashtag #walk2draw.
