Farwalker: Walk the World

The world is big. Farwalker lets you walk round it, one real step at a time. Pick your home town and a goal: any town, any country, any end of the earth. Your phone's own step counter moves a traveller along the real roads of the world, kilometre for kilometre, over its borders and across its seas. Walking from Lisbon to Moscow takes months; going round the world takes years. Free, no ads, no account. 🗺 THE REAL WORLD • 195 states and 47 other lands, 5,500 towns, roads that keep to land with every border along them • Sea lanes and the great crossings, real bridges and tunnels: the Øresund, the Channel Tunnel • 22 ends of the earth wait: Cabo da Roca, Nordkapp, Cape Horn, Cape Dezhnev, the South Pole 👣 WALK • The phone's own step counter, with the app closed too • The step length worked out from your height, or measured by hand • The traveller walks a road kilometre for kilometre: no shortcuts, no teleports 🪙 COINS, TRAINS AND SHIPS • Every kilometre walked is a coin • A coin buys 8 km by train, from wherever you are to a station ahead, or 15 km by sea from a port • Trains and ships run on the real clock: Lisbon to New York takes about nine real days at sea 🛂 THE PASSPORT • A stamp for every border crossed, cut from the country's code • The parts of the world fill in; km on foot, by train and by sea 🕰 WHERE THE TRAVELLER IS • The local time where they stand, and the real weather there • News of the road: a new country, a border, a cape, a port, the end of the way 📖 THE JOURNAL • Where each night was spent: on the road between two towns, on a train or at sea • The borders and the ports of every day 🖋 THE ENGRAVED ATLAS • Hatched seas, ripples along the coasts, hand-coloured borders of the countries you've stamped • The red line walked, the railway in black and white ALSO • English and Russian • Free and open source (MIT) Privacy: no account, no ads, no analytics. Your steps and your journey stay on your phone. The only network request is the weather where the traveller is: their map coordinates go to Open-Meteo or MET Norway, nothing else.

• Added 81 photos of sights, displayed as instant prints on their cards. Photos become coloured and show the discovery date once visited; undiscovered sights remain faded and grey. • Added Phu Quoc island in Vietnam, with a ferry route from Rach Gia. • Existing towns and roads keep their numbers when new places are added.
