In Spain, confinement measures waned progressively in four steps. In one of these phases, people were not allowed to shift further than a kilometer from their homes.

I built this app, so I could be notified when my walk exceeded the allowed distance.

How does it work?

It couldn’t be easier :)

Select the radius of the area

Launch the app when you go out, as close to your home as possible. Your location will be the center of a circular area, whose radius will be the one you indicate.
