(2) You can explore the location that you are at by clicking on “Show me on Street View” after loading the map (or by dragging and dropping the yellow figure to a nearby location on the map). (3) You will receive messages through pop ups on the app and emails about attractions that you have passed or interesting aspects of the Bali culture.

Step 3) Start walking, running, biking, etc and log your steps or distances on My Virtual Mission. This will allow you to start advancing on the map and “visit” Bali.
Q: What types of activities can I use to advance on the map?
A: It’s up to you! You can choose to include all of your daily steps, your dedicated walks, your runs, your bike rides and even your workouts. You can log on the platform steps and distances for various activities and you can also convert the time spent doing many physical activities into distances using the conversion chart. Different people will choose to log different types of activities.
Q: Do I need a smartwatch to participate in the Virtual Walk Around Bali?
A: No! You don’t need a smartwatch. You can use a step counter or an exercise tracker app of your choice on your phone. Some people use apps like Strava or the health app from the phone. If you don’t have a smartphone, you can convert the time spent doing activities like walking into distances.
Q: Do I need to use a specific app to track my distances?
A: You can use the app of your choice to track your distances. You can then input manually the distances or steps into My Virtual Mission. It is also possible to sync certain apps to send data automatically to the Virtual Walk Around Bali. However, we recommend that you input your distances manually onto the My Virtual Mission platform for more accurate tracking. For questions and support regarding connecting apps, please contact directly My Virtual Mission. The Rotary Club of Toronto Skyline does not make any guarantees regarding the connection of any apps with My Virtual Mission.
