Remote Walk tracks your distance traveled and translates it to the virtual route. It gives you the experience of actually walking in the selected city! The app also provides exercise statistics including distance, speed, calories and steps -- including keeping a history of your walks.

The app uses a Real Time mode by default which leverages Location services in a low power mode. This will let you know in real-time as you pass virtual landmarks in the routes. The passed landmarks will be spoken to you with narration, and can be mixed with any current music you are playing on your phone. So don't forget to wear your headphones.

The more you walk, the more landmarks you pass, and the more exercise you get.

Remote Walk also runs on Apple Watch, where it tracks through the virtual route based on your steps as measured by the watch. This Watch app is independent of the iPhone app, and is for times when you would rather just see your progress on the virtual route on your wrist. It will only run on Apple Watches that have Watch OS v10.6+ installed.

More features to come, including long journeys and team walks.
