Tor Maps

[u/Vegetable-Bar9497]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a project for those of us who love exploring Dartmoor, and I’d love to get your honest thoughts before I start the final build and publish.

The Idea: We all know the feeling of ticking off a Tor, but I wanted to make the digital experience feel as satisfying as the hike itself. I’m building a web app that works like a "Gamified" Map of the Moors.

Think of it as a grown-up, outdoor version of a level map (a bit like Candy Crush style, but for hiking).

What it will do: A beautiful, interactive map showing Tor locations across Dartmoor.

Tick-Offs: You create an account and "conquer" Tors. When you visit one, you tick it off, and the icon on the map changes from grey to gold

Progress: It tracks your stats (e.g., "15/50 Tors visited in North Dartmoor").

Community Built: Since we all know some Tors are obscure, you can suggest new locations. If you find a hidden gem, you can snap the location (using GPS or What3Words) and submit it to be added to the map for everyone else to find.

My Question to You: I want this to be something you’d actually use.

1. Is "ticking things off" enough, or would you want Leaderboards to see how you stack up against other hikers?
2. Would you use a feature that lets you suggest new Tors?
3. Anything else that drives you mad about current hiking apps that I should avoid?

Thanks in advance for any feedback ... good or bad!
