Walked in the wild

Real streets. Real walks. Unexpected drawings.

These are completed Geoglyphs shared by walkers. Each route is drawn again here from its real GPS trail.

Make your own

Turn sketches, photos, and ideas into walkable line art.

Draw a custom path from scratch or convert a photo into route art. Finished walks become saved projects, shareable map cards, and, when you choose, community geoglyphs other walkers can discover.

Made for the whole journey

From first idea to a walk worth sharing.

01

Plan the art

Browse, draw, or convert a picture. Then place, scale, rotate, reverse, and preview the route on nearby streets.

02

Walk the line

Follow the route outdoors, record progress, pause when needed, resume later, and optionally write the walk to Apple Health.

03

Keep and share it

Save completed projects, replay the drawing, create luminous share pages, and publish selected work to the community.

Location and sharing

You choose what becomes public.

Geoglyphs uses location to help place, follow, and record outdoor routes. Precise route coordinates are what make GPS art work, and you decide when to save, share, or publish a route.

Your city is the canvas
