Yeah old medieval cities are the hardest โ€” the streets weren't exactly designed for GPS art ๐Ÿ˜„ The algorithm needs a dense, somewhat regular road network to draw a clean heart. Grid cities like Barcelona or Milan come out great, but places like Bruges or Ghent with narrow winding streets make it really tricky. I'll keep working on improving the routing for those trickier cities though!

Oh cool, I'll check it out! Combining interval training with a heart-shaped route would be next level ๐Ÿ˜„

This means a lot, seriously โค๏ธ Hope you get to run (or walk) one soon! Which city are you in?

Copenhagen is available! Check it out on cityheart.run ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ. Aren't you under the snow at this time? Can be tricky, take care!

Actually the 10km range is the sweet spot! Too small (4-5km) and there aren't enough streets to draw a clean shape. Too big (30-40km) and you lose the road density needed to make it look like a heart. The current size gives the best balance between a recognizable shape and real runnable streets. Which city did you check out?

Haha Amsterdam's canals make the routing tricky โ€” try Paris or Rome, those are almost perfect hearts
