Explorer Profile
Your explorer profile tracks all your activities: visits, check-ins, completed trails, and earned badges. Each city has its own explorer profile that tracks your local progress.
Achievements
Earn achievements by reaching exploration milestones — visiting your first place, completing trails, or reaching visit counts. Achievements award points that contribute to your explorer ranking.
How It Works
The exploration system validates check-ins via QR code scan or GPS proximity and tracks your progress across places and trails.
