What is all the fuss around Map My Walk?

What is Map My Walk?

It is a website and an app that helps track walks quite accurately. It allows us to create a group and connect with each other. It also allows us to motivate each other right after a walk. Also interesting routes become evident that others may want to use as well.

Do I have to use the app to be a part of this group?

Happy Feet Walkers club is not associated with the Mapmywalk.com  in any way other than the fact that it seems to be a good tool that works on most mobile devices fairly consistently. We encourage members to use the app for consistency across members but it is NOT a requirement to me a member of the club.

Does it use my data on phone?

Yes.

Do I need it for my collages?

Most of the collage challenges that we post need some clear evidence of distance walked. Mapmywalk is the best option although other similar tools can be used if needed. Regular daily collage submissions also benefit from the distance covered but not a requirement.

How is it that some people have the image of route in their collages? I dont see an option to do it.

Basically once the workout is complete, you can take a screenshot of the map on your phone. This is saved as an image and you can use it in your collage. There is NO option directly in mapmywalk.

What if I walked and forgot to turn on the app?

If you know the distance covered, you can log a workout manually. You can either select from one of your existing routes if you used a common one or just put the distance and time etc. manually.

What are these challenges? Should I join them all? What will I get?

These challenges are just additional motivation if you like them. They are not required for membership. There are no prizes for these challenges except self satisfaction for a job well done.

How do I find friends?

Once you find one member in the app, you will see the others as suggested friends. You can also simply join the Happy Feet Group and everything will come naturally.

What do I do if I have more questions about the app that is not answered here?
