What inspired me: When I traveled, I kept checking my map every few minutes to find places worth seeing. I'd walk from A to B and later find out I'd passed right by a beautiful park or old street without knowing it. I wanted my walk to take me past those places on its own. The problem: Map apps only care about the fastest route. That often means busy, grey, noisy roads, even when there's something beautiful one street over. You either take the boring route or spend your walk searching and planning detours. How Qalasi fixes it: It finds highly rated parks, gardens, historic streets and viewpoints near your path. Then it weaves the best few into your route and drops any that would add a big detour. You choose how much extra time is OK: Direct, Balanced or Wander. You still arrive on time, and the walk becomes the best part of your day.
