You might be right about Voyager--I might have been thinking of another app and/or directly in the instance website. But I've definitely edited OPs--and been very grateful for it!
That's how I started!! I still manually map each walk (which IS kind of a chore) on gmap-pedometer and My Maps (Google). I'm kinda afraid to stop--just incase something goes sideways with CityStrides! π
There are several apps that I can use--but I most often it's the "Walk" app on a Garmin Vivoactive 4 smartwatch -- which then syncs with the CityStrides website.
And I totally get street photography--which is really rewarding too. I call it being in "Photographer Mind"--where I literally interact with the world differently: a much more visual orientation--which can be very meditative and relaxing. I love it!
See my response (above)--that's over many, many years.
