Test Run the App

-
download and run the app
pwMapApp: 

from either app store or play store

To use the app you will need to select your unique Explorer Name
Please remember:
  • your Explorer name will be visible to other explorers
  • once selected -- you will not be able to change it
Test run the app

You will start or continue an Expedition
an Expedition is where you explore a Map. That is, you follow a map in order to explore the real world.

The object of your exploration is to discover Treasures. A Treasure is a marked point on the map.

  • Go to the mapped point
  • tell the app that you are there
  • and the app will confirm that you have found the Treasure.
How many treasures can you find?

No need to stand up... yet!
Try this map:
  • Start a New Expedition
  • Select Map
Street View of a Way

This will allow you to explore the actual street:

Thornbill Way, Churchlands, Western Australia

... using Google StreetView

On this Map each Treasure is a house on Thornbill Way.

To claim the Treasure you will need to answer a question

... the answer is visible on StreetView

Can you discover every Treasure and score the maximum of 76 points?

That was easy :-)

Are you close enough to visit Thornbill Way?

...why not "Walk the Way"
