VOICEMAP SELF-GUIDED TOURS
In conjunction with VoiceMap, I have now created two self-guided audio tours.
Simply download the VoiceMap app and then the tour, get to the starting point and press go. You can then put your smartphone away as I guide you (via GPS) around the locations. Should you drift off the path, the app, along with an on-screen map, will help you get back on track.
You can pause the tour anytime you want and take a break or a detour. And walk the route at your own pace (there is no guide to hurry you along).
