Walkly now adds a 10m red direction guide, stable north‑up maps, and one‑tap route saving to Photos—making walking navigation clearer than ever.
Walkly – Smart Walking & Local Navigation
Walkly is a map and walking‑navigation app designed for clear, safe, and battery‑friendly guidance in cities.
It focuses on simple, stable navigation, easy route saving, and a clean interface inspired by Apple Maps but optimized for walking.
Core Features
Smart Route Search
Supports walking, cycling, and driving routes
Clear route list with time, distance, and transport type
Quick branch/location search with categories (e.g. cafes, banks)
Stable Map Navigation
Map stays north‑up by default (no spinning)
Blue location marker with consistent on‑screen size (does not grow/shrink when zooming)
10m red dotted “ahead line” in navigation showing exactly where to walk next
Smooth recentering only when you move far from the center (no jumpy camera)
Battery‑Friendly Location Tracking
Separate browsing vs navigation modes
Throttled and distance‑filtered location updates
Reduced unnecessary map updates and animations

Map snapshot
Route summary, time, distance, steps
Save to Photos:
Converts the PDF to a high‑quality image
Saves directly to the iPhone Photos app for quick access and sharing

Buttons and text scale properly across device sizes
Simple bottom controls for start/stop navigation and route zoom
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Navigation Stability
Removed automatic map rotation in navigation; map now stays north‑up.
Camera updates are heavily throttled and only recenter when you move far enough.
User gestures (pan/zoom) temporarily pause auto‑camera to avoid “fighting” the user.
10m Ahead Direction Line
New red dotted line ~10m ahead of your position in the direction you’re facing.
Updates as you move and turn, making it very clear where to go next.
Improved User Location Marker
Replaced default blue dot with a custom marker of fixed size.
Marker size no longer changes when zooming the map.
PDF & Photos Export
Reworked route export to a modern one‑page PDF.
Added “Photos” button to save the same layout as an image into the Photos app.
Fixed image orientation so saved pictures are no longer mirrored.
Performance & Battery
Reduced frequency of map and camera updates.
Tuned location thresholds to ignore tiny movements and orientation-only changes.
Removed unused transit code and development/backup files to keep the app lean.
Production Cleanup
Removed internal documentation and backup files from the bundle.
Verified Release build compiles cleanly with no linter errors in core modules.
This version is focused on making Walkly ready for production: stable navigation, clear guidance (thanks to the 10m red direction line), and polished export options for saving and sharing your routes.
