Fort McHenry is 4.1 km from Baltimore's center, with Fort Armistead at 11.3 km and Fort Carroll on its island at 11.6 km. Lighthouses stack up along the Patapsco: Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse at 1 km, Lazaretto Point Light at 4.7 km, Fort Carroll Lighthouse, and the four Craighill Channel range lights between 15 and 22 km. The Washington Monument at 0.8 km and the Battle Monument at the very center lead 38 monuments.
Fourteen bunkers is the odd figure, most of them batteries, the Water Battery at 4.2 km and the Battery Nicholson group around 18 km. Round Falls at 3.7 km is a waterfall inside the city, and Federal Hill, 1.2 km from the center, is the hill to start with. The app checks that you climbed it.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Baltimore.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
