Smartwatches, GPS-equipped wearables, fitness apps… Tracking your location while working out is easier and more accessible*than ever before. It’s also very useful and frankly speaking I don’t know any runner who doesn’t*do that. Some, do it to share it with friends, others to keep track of their workouts. But there is also a third group of users that decided*to add some spice to their workouts and turned it into an art…
The idea is simple, you plan a route of your workout in such a way that your GPS tracks will create a particular pattern on a map. Some of these GPS artworks are really interesting and other are meant to impress or make you smile.*There is even one case where an artist proposed by spelling*“Marry Me”*on a map. Really creative! It is amazing to see, what people can do with fitness apps and tracking devices. Here are a couple of examples.

Basically, the Global Positioning System is your paintbrush and you can draw anything you want. There is no limitation and almost anyone can do it! Of course it will cost a lot of effort, but after completing the exercise you feel satisfied with your work.
