"AUSSIE SO CLOSE TOO FAR" is a GPS art route drawn in Howick, New Zealand that takes the shape of a drawing. This part of New Zealand has the kind of grid that keeps the shape recognisable once it's recorded on a watch.
The route covers 22.2 km, roughly 2h13 at an easy running pace, which makes it a longer run. Every turn follows real roads from OpenStreetMap: Draw My Loop's snapping algorithm keeps the outline on the actual street network.
Grab the GPX file, push it to a watch via Strava or Garmin Connect, and head out. Once the activity is recorded, the drawing shows up on the map automatically. You can also fork this route from the map and adapt it to your own neighbourhood before exporting.
