Jump the map to a city to see what is there. The list is
part of the app, so it works with no signal.
Layers
Choose what the map shows. The denser kinds show as
numbered circles until you zoom in — relief spots and no-go zones always
draw, because they are what you came for.

What the icons mean
Each kind has its own icon and its own colour, so the map reads
either way.
Bigger marker = confirmed by more walkers. Bins and hydrants only appear once
you zoom in; there are too many to read otherwise.
✛
Drag the map to put the crosshair on the spot.

Using your location
Photo — optional
A photo is what makes a spot trustworthy, and it's resized and stripped of all metadata on your phone before it's sent. You can send without one, but it carries less weight.
What is it?
Sending adds this spot to the map's
open data, under the
same licence OpenStreetMap uses. A photo stays private until a reviewer has
seen it; your recorded walks are never shared at all.
Advisory only, and never a precise location — it snaps to roughly a
100 m stretch of street, never a building.
Why?

Three different people, each standing here, before it appears on anyone's map.
Any one person can hide it again. It expires after 90 days unless re-reported.
Settings
Test: new look
The redesign being tried out: a "Nearest to you" card, your own
dot or character, and new tag and spot sheets. Only on this phone; switch back
any time.
Who's walking?
How you appear on your own map. It stays on this phone —
nobody else sees it.
Dot colour
Home screen
A launcher keeps whichever icon the
app had when it was added, so a new icon needs the shortcut removed and
added again.
Your walks
Tap 🐾 on the map to record one. Walks are stored on this
phone and never sent to the server — clearing this browser's data deletes
them, and nobody else can ever see them. Save them to a file and you
can put them back on this phone or a new one.
Test: look-for panel
Swaps the layer chips for a "What are you looking for?" panel
that says how far the nearest one is. Only on this phone; switch back any time.
Map style
Both are OpenStreetMap data. Try them on a walk and keep
whichever you can read faster.
Home blackout
Pins you drop near home are published without your name on them.
Your home location is stored only on this phone — it is never sent to the server.

You have no account. Your pins are tied to this browser —
if you clear its data they're gone. Your handle is —.
