A TIGER, a bear and a T-Rex dinosaur are among the GPS art created by a runner.
Jeric Yuen, 37, of London, has made more than 50 drawings since 2019, using website plotaroute.com to plan the directions for his smartwatch.
Jeric began making the line patterns after experiencing “one of the most devastating moments of my life.”
He explained: “I was training hard for the Berlin marathon and then three weeks before that, I sort of cracked one of my toes and was on crutches for three months.”
“It took me almost four months to recover – it was one of the most devastating moments of my life as I went from being super active to not being able to move properly and seeing people doing things on social media that I could not.
“After I recovered, I thought I should give back to the community because I think everybody deserves to be able to stay active, and I found out about Spinal Research and have been fundraising for them ever since.”

The endeavour began by accident, after he noticed one of his runs looked faintly like a face from above.
“So I thought, maybe I’ll go out and see whether I can draw a human face, went out for the run and thought – wow, it really looks like a human face.
“And then I found another park in Glasgow that looks like a T-Rex and drew that, and started thinking of what other things I could draw when I got back to London.”
Despite beginning as an accident, this does not make the endeavour low-effort.

“What people don’t see behind the scenes is that there are many many hours of planning”, he explains.
