Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free web app that uses virtual penny flips to choose the turns on a spontaneous walk, drive, or bike ride.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The app supports preset outings of 20 urban turns, 15 suburban turns, or 10 rural turns, with a custom range of 1–100 turns for other plans. Its advanced mode asks the user to enumerate legal options at an intersection or traffic circle before choosing among them. Optional location access sends each turn’s coordinates to Photon by Komoot for nearby OpenStreetMap matching, while the route itself remains only in the current page session.
