Explorer the Earth

One tile at a time, including 🍟…

Tiles are squares on a map and when one of your activities crosses a square it is counted as a tile. If you cross the connected tile left, right, top and bottom of any tile too, that tile is counted as a cluster-tile. The max square is based on the biggest square you can create with all the connected tiles. The idea of tiles itself stems from tiled web maps. In Germany a tile at zoom level 14 has roughly an area of 1.55×1.55km.

I cycled, ran, walked and swam 10991 tiles in total, the biggest square is 43 by 43 (~4417km²) and the biggest cluster contains 2522 tiles (~6029km²) at zoom level 14. Last update to the database was on 2025-06-30.

Use the layer control inside the map to display or hide fries and pictures. Icons refer to the icons of the iconic Belgium cycle routes.

Heavily inspired by Veloviewer, thanks for at least 4 fabulous years in which I have been a happy, paying user. Landscape and OpenCycleMap by Thunderforest. Big shout-out to brouter.de and Marcus for running this brouter.m11n.de instance, I totally love it for planning.

The list on the right contains the countries and their regions respectively administrative areas I visited. The idea comes from wandrer.earth. I used the service quite long, but in the end, I decided to build my own, as the results will otherwise just be kept in the wallend garden of Strava. Turns out, that I don't need the street and road coverage that bad. am happy enough with the list of regions. I used boundaries from GADM to compute this list.
