It only opens from your side.

Every awning on a main street opens from the shop. The shop raises it when the shop is ready. This one opens from you. You raise it to tell one shop that you are on your way.

Three things cross: your first name, about how many minutes, then HERE. That is the whole message. Not your route. Not your map. Not a pin on a street.

Stop is yours. Location moves only while you are sharing, and it ends when you end it. Nothing about your trip is sold. There is no audience for it except the one door you picked.

A map of a whole town, everyone moving at once, would have been easier to build and easier to sell. We did not build it. One person, one shop, one direction. Everything else was left out on purpose.

For shops: listing is free and claiming is free. We set your shop’s name in the awning and look at it before anything turns on. Then you see who is on the way to your door, by first name and minutes, then HERE.

Look at the mark. Three bays, one curved arrow, one green dot at the end of it. The dot means somebody arrived. That is the only thing we are here to make happen.
