Alive Maps: walking directions that trade a minute for a nicer walk

A new starter app, Alive Maps, gives walking directions that trade a minute for a nicer walk: the fastest route first, then livelier detours past parks, water, streets away from traffic, cafés and public art, ranked by five dials you can move.

• Alive Maps gives walking directions that trade a minute for a nicer walk: pick a start and a destination, or one of three Calgary samples, and it finds the fastest walk, then livelier detours past parks, the river, streets away from traffic, cafés and public art, scored by five dials you can move.
• It runs at apps.unmap.dev/alive-maps, built from the alive-route-explorer registry block, now available for both React and Vue projects with npx @unmap/cli add alive-route-explorer.
• Each walk's picture cards are labelled as AI-generated illustrations, never photos of the place named.
