How to Record Your First Activity in Marchh

To record your first activity in Marchh, open the iPhone app, choose Walk or Run, allow the required location access, start recording, carry the phone while moving safely, finish through the app, and review the route. Territory appears only if the activity and closed area qualify.

The product calls the recording a Walk or Run, so this guide does not label the activity itself “a Marchh.” It focuses on the first complete recording flow after account and app setup.

1. Open Marchh

Open the installed Marchh app and enter the activity flow after completing the normal account setup. For a first attempt, use a familiar outdoor area so learning the interface does not compete with awareness of traffic, surfaces or other people.

2. Choose Walk or Run

Choose the activity type that matches the movement you are about to record rather than treating the label as a performance target. Both types can produce activity information and potential closed-route geometry.

3. Check the required location access

Follow the iPhone prompts for Marchh location permission and enable Precise Location where available. If you expect to lock the screen or background Marchh, the requested background behavior may also be needed to keep collecting an active route.

4. Start the activity

Begin through the normal activity control once you are outdoors in a safe position. Marchh starts building an activity from accepted location samples; the displayed path can vary with hardware, surroundings and system conditions.

5. Move safely

Carry the same iPhone and walk or run according to real conditions, looking at the phone only when safe. Obey traffic rules, signs, closures and access restrictions; a map view cannot grant permission or confirm that a path is suitable.

6. Follow your real route

The activity can record without a territory attempt. If you do want possible territory, follow a lawful loop that fits the outing rather than making risky last-second turns. Do not use spoofing, replayed data or automated movement.

7. Close the route if attempting territory

A closed route provides area geometry for Marchh to evaluate. Return toward the beginning naturally, but do not chase an exact screen line or assume visual closure guarantees acceptance. Location quality, geometry, integrity, existing territory and other rules still matter.

8. Finish the activity

When movement is complete, finish through the normal Marchh control. Stopping deliberately marks the end of the outing and lets the product preserve the supported activity information it received.

9. Review the recorded activity

Review the saved route and available distance, duration and pace context. Large gaps or jumps can indicate permission, signal or device interruptions, but the activity record can remain useful even when it does not create territory.

10. See whether qualifying territory was created

Look for a resulting virtual area after evaluation. If it appears, it belongs to the shared Marchh map and confers no physical rights. If none appears, distinguish the successful recording from the separate eligibility decision before trying again safely.

The first result reveals Marchh's two layers: a personal record of movement and shared virtual state that may follow from eligible geometry. A later activity should change only where that serves a safe real-world purpose, not to chase hidden limits.

Questions people ask

Must a first activity create territory?

No. The Walk or Run can be recorded successfully even when its route does not qualify for virtual territory.

Should I keep looking at the map while moving?

No. Check the device only when safe and keep attention on traffic, terrain, access rules and people around you.
