Rationale

FarOut is a mobile application that provides GPS maps and guides for long-distance hiking, biking, and paddling trails. It offers a wide selection of themed trail guides (campaigns) that users can select. The app uses GPS to show the user's current location on an interactive map and provides detailed waypoints, which function as location-based points of interest or challenges. While it doesn't explicitly mention 'quests' or 'gamified exploration' in the same way Wonderwise does, the concept of following a detailed guide with specific waypoints and community comments aligns with the core idea of location-based challenges and interactive navigation. The reward system is not present, and the challenges are not explicitly gamified.
