Closed testing · Two walkers
The Big Lap, on foot.
Most people drive it. This lap is virtual: every real step Raj and Kane walk around Melbourne moves one shared marker along 14,403 km of Highway 1, the whole way around Australia, without leaving the city.

How it works
Nothing to log
The watch records a walk, Health Connect passes it on, the marker moves. No buttons.
Two walkers, one marker
Their distance is added together, never ranked against each other. Co-operative only.
Earned, not given
Towns reached, state lines crossed, 175 badges with real thresholds behind them.
Then it starts again
Finishing the lap stamps the passport, and a new country opens for the next one.
Powered by
Health Connect
The watch writes to Android’s own health store, and Wanderlaps reads the steps and the walks from there. Nothing else, and only while permission is granted. Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Polar and COROS all count.
Android only for now. iOS is coming.
Friends of the lap
Where our walks come from. Victorian weekend escapes: food, nature and stays, planned in 30 seconds.
The soundtrack to our walks. The album cuts and one-hit wonders the countdown left behind.
The lap is under way
Watch the marker inch around the country and leave a cheer. Public, no account, nothing to install.
