Your walks now look like the route you actually walked

If you have ever finished a walk and noticed the line on the map zigzag through buildings or jump across a street, you have met GPS noise. Even good phones drift, especially in cities and under tree cover.

Now, when you finish a walk, WalkSpy quietly checks whether your route looks like a clear match for known paths. If it does, the map shows the smoothed version. If your route was off-road or did not match anything cleanly (think hiking trails, fields, flights, or anywhere there is no path to snap to), the original GPS line stays as it was.

There is a "Smooth route on map" toggle on the edit-walk page if you want to override the default for any specific walk.

While we were in there, we also tightened up GPS capture itself. Noisy fixes (the ones the GPS chip flags as low confidence) get filtered out before they enter your trace. Most walks should look noticeably cleaner now without changing anything on your end.

The basemap got a refresh too. Sharper labels, friendlier colors, crisper rendering on high-DPI displays. You should notice it the next time you watch a recorded walk or browse the map.
