Families can use the GeoPalz.com community to track their steps as groups, using GeoPalz or any other pedometer. This way, family hikes, walks and games can help contribute to family fun and fitness.

GeoPalz is a fun way to get kids out and get active. Walking/hiking dads will love how a simple pedometer, connected to a simple website can motivate kids to take steps every day. GeoPalz themselves are very simple pedometers, calibrated for little legs. They count daily steps, which kids enter into a fun website. Dads don't have to worry that the website has chat or mail; all it does is add up the steps and send a weekly report to dad or mom. When kids accumulate enough steps, they can win a $5 iTunes card or a small toy. For some kids. that's enough to keep them walking. And walking. We also liked the lessons it teaches kids, from adding up steps and "feet" to miles and also saving steps to earn a prize later.
