I wrote a simple app last year that put all my Apple Watch workout routes on a simple map, so I can see how much of the city I’ve covered (all existing options were paid, and I was too cheap for it). Now I have some time, so rewriting it properly that’s based on neighbourhood, completion %s, achievements and etc. It’s weirdly fun, because I’m not a mobile engineer, but satisfying to see hundreds of users per month using my app.

Also, every region has different ways of representing a “neighbourhood”, so I get to learn how to extract viable data from each city. Lots of map stuff, I’m genuinely enjoying it!

Did you look at the squadrats app? It’s compatible with strava also. It sounds quite similar to what you describe.

There's wandrer.earth as well, though it's based on roads, not neighborhoods or squares
