How to Map Your Walk at MapMyWalk

Author Info

Last Updated: March 4, 2021

If you take walks and always wonder what distance you're covering, there are a lot of ways to figure it out. As you probably know, you can use a GPS or a smartphone, but you might like to try using the internet––this article will show you how to use MapMyWalk.com.

Steps

You can sign in with your Facebook account if you like.
This will load up tools that you need to create your map.
If you have put your location in your profile, you should be at your town.
It could be at home or maybe you drove to a park, or anything else. Click there.
It doesn't have to be at every single corner. The map maker will stick with main roads unless you indicate otherwise.
Click Undo and backtrack to where it is correct.
If you need to, click and hold the left mouse down to move the screen (location) around.
Try to give each walk an identifying name so you know it for future reference.
Fill out the information under there so you can count it as a workout.
That is on the far upper right hand corner.

Question

How do I get the app to announce increments in a mile?

Community Answer

In the upper left of the home screen you will see three horizontal bars, press on them to open a list. Scroll to the bottom and you will see settings. Click on that. The top option is voice feedback to activate or deactivate the announcment. The next one down is units where you can select either metric, imperial or a hybrid of the two.

Question

How do I send my walk to my GPS?

Community Answer

You don't. A GPS helps you find your way to a place. It doesn't actually count your steps or how long you have walked.

Having auto follow roads select (default) will make it easier for you to mark it. You won't have to mark the path as often.
