I want to give a recommendation for the Walk The Distance app and developer John Zaccone. Like many apps supported by a small team of developers, John has been particularly responsive. Google recently turned off the Fitbit API the app used for receiving data in a switch to Google Health and John made the change over the weekend. I also received notice that I no longer need to pay a yearly subscription unless I use Garmin as an input source. A critical component of my healthcare is walking several times a day, particularly after meals. The Walk The Distance app provides context for my distance by relating it to a map of popular trails and parks. I first used it to virtually walked the 2,024 mile Appalachian Trail from early 2023 through July, 2024. Right now I am virtually walking the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest trail and have 129 miles to go.
