How long will the walk take?

We'll be there d'reckly!



How fast do people normally walk?


Getting tired...


Tailored to you (and picnics)

Even for a given terrain, the average speed varies quite a lot between people; when my enduring parents are being dragged along, the average speed on the same walk is quite different from when I'm alone.  The weather also makes quite a difference: mud or blazing heat can slow things down.

That’s why in the app, we measure your personal average speed over the last few minutes (to represent the “current terrain”) and estimate time based on this.

This also includes "picnic detection" i.e. the projection is based on when you’re actually walking, rather than stopping for lunch or a paddle. The result is that the time estimate is tailored to your individual walking pace.
