Our focus is VR exercise, but agreed that could be a cool benefit to Premium members. We have made a build that works now on Android OS 7 or greater devices, and would appreciate if Android owners would try it and give us feedback.

If people like it then we'll announce as an official benefit, get it on the Play store and also make an iOS version.
- Click the link above to install, and allow "unknown sources" since this isn't on the Play store yet.
- Make sure you have bluetooth and location services enabled to connect with VZ Sensor.
- Do not pair your VZ Button! Touch the screen to select things like a normal app. You can also drag the screen to look different directions, and tap it to recenter.
- Everything should work as expected, except steering is automatic so you cannot make open-ended rides.
I hate to say it, but it works better for me than the main Explorer app. It recovers from the "run in" issue better. Auto follow dots should be an option on the main app as well, it was great barring the occasional odd dot not following the route. Didn't freeze up on me either. The only issue I had was that it wasn't as smooth transitioning from one map section to the next as the VR app is. It hesitates and then continues. I even casted it to my TV! Would love an iOS and iPadOS option.
