Lolly helps her find a GPS app

Lolly comes outside with another book and begins to read it out loud to Kimmy.

‘How do you know how far you have walked? There are several ways to measure your walking distance, with more available than ever before thanks to mobile apps, GPS, and computer mapping. The best one to use will depend on whether you are walking outdoors or indoors and how you are using that information.

In the ancient past (just a few years ago) you needed a special GPS unit to measure walking distance via satellite technology. But now GPS is built into your smartphone and is used by walking apps that can track your speed and distance, such as MapMyWalk.

These apps couldn't be more convenient since it's likely you're bringing your phone along on your walk. Besides knowing how far you've walked, you can also see the route you've taken, which can help you navigate back to where you started.

Many smart pedometers and fitness bands, such as Fitbit, are linked to apps that have an exercise-tracking function that will use the phone's GPS to map and measure your walk. Besides measuring total distance, you often can review your route on a map, and some apps allow you to save and use the same route again.’ (Info here)

“Well that’s a good plan,” Lolly says. “But I don’t think this app will help you much. Oh wait, I just found a better map app for you.”

Kimmy thinks that this might do the trick. She thanks Lolly for all her help and continues down the road.
