Turn your steps into a journey down the US East Coast, from Maine to Key West!
Every step you take becomes part of a journey across America.
"US East Walk Nomad" is a walking-habit app that turns the steps you actually take each day into a virtual journey on the map. Start at Quoddy Head in Maine, the easternmost point of the lower 48, and walk all the way south through New England, the Mid-Atlantic and the Carolinas to Florida, finishing at Key West, the southernmost point of the contiguous United States. By giving your daily walk a "journey" as its goal, walking becomes more fun and easier to keep up.
■ Your steps become real distance
US East Walk Nomad connects with Health Connect and automatically reads the steps recorded by your phone or wearable device. Every step you take moves you further along the map, down the Atlantic coast, through Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., past the Carolinas and Georgia, and finally over the Overseas Highway to the Florida Keys. Switch between miles and kilometres in Settings.
■ Choose your own path
The destination is fixed, but the route there is entirely up to you. Take as many detours as you like, across the eastern half of the country, from the coast of New England to the Appalachians, Kentucky, Tennessee and the Gulf coast of Alabama and Florida.
■ A journey past famous landmarks
Famous sights from 20 states and Washington, D.C. appear along your route, including Acadia National Park, Niagara Falls, Fenway Park, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Gettysburg, Mount Vernon, Monticello, Shenandoah National Park, the Great Smoky Mountains, Savannah, the Kennedy Space Center, the Everglades and the Seven Mile Bridge. Walk close enough to one and you'll earn a badge tied to that place.
■ Milestone cities along the way
Keep an eye out for signposts along the route, with milestone badges at Portland, Boston, Providence, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Richmond, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, Marathon and more.
■ Arukyun shares local comments
When you arrive at a new place, Arukyun, the app's original alien character who is curious about everywhere you walk, shares fun local facts and comments about it, with notes prepared for every one of the 3,070 districts on the map, so it feels like you're really visiting.
■ Conquer the map
Your Coverage Map fills in as you reach each district. Earn conquest badges for each state or region and then for the whole of the Eastern US. There are 187 badges to collect in all.
■ Reach the goal, then turn around and go again
Once you reach Key West, you turn around and start a new lap heading back. You earn a goal badge for every lap, so every journey feels fresh.
■ Find places nearby
See what's around your current position on the map and open it in Google Maps, which can double as inspiration for planning a real trip.
■ Free version and Full Version
The free version lets you walk freely across the northern part of the route, from Maine through New England and New York, where your journey begins. Upgrade to the Full Version (one-time purchase, no subscription) to unlock the rest of the route down the coast to Key West, plus nearby places and the full badge collection.
