Walk it with our urban walking route planner
walkit.com is a free online urban walking route planner whose goal is not to pretend that walking can substitute all of the urban car or bus trips but to allow people to make more informed decisions about whether they walk for all or part of their journey.
Salford City Council has worked with walkit.com to provide the route planner which is ideal for planning traditional walks from point A to B but also for circular routes where the walk finishes back at the starting point which is very useful for leisure/health walks.
Routes are displayed on a map along with clear walking directions. The journey time, calorie burn, step count and carbon saving are calculated reinforcing how environmentally friendly it is to walk.
To use the route planner or for more information visit walkit.com.
It's quick, free, healthy and green.
