Woden

Woden is a concept app for country day walks. Open it and it's already picked one walk for the day, sends you to a free car park, then keeps the walk to a simple map. Product, brand, site and Android app by me.

Choosing a walk shouldn't take longer than the walk. Woden picks one for you, based on where you are, the weather at the walk and how long you want to drive and walk for.

Not keen? Another walk shows the next one, and changing the drive or walk time brings up new ones.

On the walk the map turns with you: black and white, with the hills shaded the way Ordnance Survey used to. No notifications, no badges. It's only there so you don't get lost. Glance at it if you're unsure, otherwise look up and enjoy the walk.

At the end, one picture of your day, drawn as a stylised map. No write-ups, no ratings, no posts. Then drive home, or visit a pub nearby.

Every walk keeps its picture, a reminder of the day to save as a wallpaper. Its colour is the weather on the walk: temperature sets the hue, from Sea on cold days through Stone and Sand to Gold on hot ones, and cloud and rain make it darker.

Four walks, each picture coloured by its weather: 2°, clear; 10°, rain; 18°, clear; 26°, clear.

The type takes its cue from 1970s OS maps, set in an adapted Univers: Zalando Sans Expanded for headlines, Inter for the rest, and a wider W to match.
