# GPS mechanics

In our app, with the help of a GPS tracker, your location is constantly monitored. Every second, it sends a signal in encrypted form to our server about the location of your device. The server, in turn, defines and draws the distance walked on the map. This process allows us to calculate the optimal reward for the participants of our game and punish users who decide to cheat the system.
