One of the best things that I did was spending a week making a simple app that can put all my Apple Watch walks on a single big map, then sharing it with my friends after it got published on AppStore. It's been a year since I worked on it, but I still get messages from my friends (and some random people who found it!) how they've walked through an entire city or something. Really rewarding experience, despite having zero financial gains from it.

OP is right, making simple apps for your friends for fun!

This sounds great, could you link the app please?

Not the OPs app but there's an app doing something similar that I enjoyed for many years, you can also import from GPS trackers and others: https://fogofworld.app

Not OP, but https://dawarich.app/ seems to do the same (open source and self-hostable, also has an iOS App).

Here you go — https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mapcut/id6478268682. It’s really not supposed to be super nice, but good enough to have some active users. It’s free, so have fun! Sorry for putting it behind auth gates, I was experimenting with some other features that required webservers running.

Does that work like a game map where the fog disappears where you have been? That would be cool, although the reviews aren't great.

Yea that’s the idea. Worked well for the years where I tried it.
