GPS connects movement to geometry
Marchh processes accepted location samples into route geometry. When that geometry closes around an area, the service can evaluate a virtual territory claim.
Signal quality varies, so an activity can be recorded without producing eligible territory.
The shared map is the game state
A claim does more than save a private route: it can affect visible ownership on a map used by other Marchh players.
Territory may change through overlap, conflict resolution and integrity action. It is not guaranteed to remain with one account.
Integrity keeps the map meaningful
GPS spoofing, fake-location tools, automated movement and fabricated or duplicated activities detach the map from real effort.
Marchh applies integrity checks without publishing thresholds that would help manipulation.
What persists after an activity
The GPS route belongs to a particular outing. Territory is the resulting shared-map state that can remain visible after that outing ends. This separation matters: an activity can exist without producing territory, and territory ownership can later change.
The map therefore reflects accepted product outcomes rather than a raw display of every location point collected by a device.
Questions people ask
Does every activity create territory?
No. A completed activity does not guarantee a claim. Route geometry, location quality, activity integrity, territory conflicts and other Marchh validation rules can affect eligibility.
Is Marchh territory real property?
No. Marchh territory is entirely virtual. It creates no ownership, possession, access permission or other legal right over a physical place.
