Every route weighs more than distance.

Melbourne summers make the shortest path the wrong one more often than you'd think. LeafRoute accounts for what actually makes a walk bearable.

Heat & shade aware

Routes weigh tree canopy, building shade, and solar position against sun exposure, not just distance.

Reads the crowd

Forecast pedestrian density along the way, so a busy shortcut doesn't ruin a quiet walk.

Quieter, safer streets

Weight vehicle traffic lower when you'd rather not walk beside six lanes of it.

Tuned to you

Set your pace and your comfort-versus-speed balance once, and every route respects it after that.

How it works

01

Search where you're headed

Type a street, building, or place anywhere in Melbourne, real addresses, not guesswork.

02

Compare the trade-off

See a few honest options, the fastest, the shadiest, the quietest, and exactly what each one costs you in minutes.

03

Walk it, track it

Start walking with one tap. Your history and estimated avoided emissions build up automatically.

Every walk is one less car trip.

LeafRoute tracks your walking history and gives you a transparent, honest estimate of the emissions you avoided by choosing to walk.
