From a route to an area
A normal GPS activity is a sequence of location samples. When accepted points form route geometry that closes around an area, Marchh can calculate covered-area and territory geometry from that shape.
Closure alone is not sufficient. Marchh can consider accuracy, movement integrity, geometry, minimum activity requirements and territory conflicts before accepting a claim.
Ownership on a shared map
Territory ownership is designed to be visible to other Marchh users. A territory may show geometry, area and the public profile information associated with its owner.
Ownership is part of a changing game state, not a permanent guarantee. Outcomes can change as Marchh resolves overlapping or conflicting territory claims or acts on invalid activity.
Overlap and conflict
A new covered area can interact with existing authoritative territory information. Marchh may reject or modify a result according to current territory rules.
The exact outcome belongs to product logic and can evolve. Marchh does not publish a simplified formula that might mislead users or disclose integrity-sensitive thresholds.
Virtual means virtual
A polygon on the Marchh map does not grant possession, tenancy, access, control or any other legal right in a real location. Territory never authorizes entry onto private or restricted land.
Treat other players respectfully when ownership changes. Territory competition does not justify following, confronting, threatening or harassing another person.
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.
