Nearby proof
Production verifies that the roadie is inside a stop radius. The prototype shows distance feedback without storing real proof on a server.
Digital Mother Road passport
Stamp it only when you are there.
This is the online-geocache layer: pick a Route 66 stop, request GPS proof on purpose, attach a trip photo, choose who can see it, and save a local demo passport stamp.
Photo support
A picture makes the stamp worth sharing, but photo metadata alone is not enough for high-value rewards because metadata can be changed or stripped.
Business fallback
QR codes and staff codes help motels, museums, diners, and shops verify visitors when GPS is weak or a reward needs redemption proof.
Your demo passport
Local stamp book.
The real app should store server-side verification, hide exact coordinates from public pages, and let every roadie decide how each stamp is shared.
Challenge ideas
Make Route 66 feel collectible.
Each challenge can become a sponsored lane, a printable certificate, a photo contest, or a business reward campaign.
