Tile hunting is an interesting hobby because it takes place in the real world, where conditions are constantly changing. If you live in a large city, collecting tiles can be easiest along roads. Depending on the city’s layout, almost every location may be accessible by bike or on foot. In some cities, pedestrians haven’t been well considered, which makes tile collecting more challenging due to the dominance of car roads.
In rural areas, the lack of roads can create the opposite problem. You can potentially walk anywhere, as long as you’re willing to trek through swamps or cross pathless forests. Sometimes a river or lake may be an obstacle. A motivated tile collector will reach these tiles by swimming or paddling.
The further you go in tile collecting, the more important map reading and route planning become. Many tile collectors are also skilled orienteers. The internet is full of routing tools and map services that are definitely worth using if you want to systematically collect new areas.
Can I wander around without a pre-planned route?
Of course! Wandrio has a built-in map and tracking feature. Often, it’s really exciting to simply head into a new area, start exploring with Wandrio in hand, and collect as many tiles as your schedule allows.
