Use QR Codes, GPS Maps, Keypad Numbers, and Orienteering Hints for Self Guided Tour Navigation
Helping your visitors easily find their way through exhibits and tours is essential for building inclusive, accessible experiences. Tourient makes this a snap with more way-finding options than any other platform, all included for free.
Navigate within the app: forward, backward, or in any direction.
Back and next buttons help visitors move from stop to stop, but they can start anywhere and stop anywhere, or move in any order with the built-in Stops menu.
Back and next buttons
These buttons help you move forward (or back) in just one tap. They're keyboard accessible, screen-reader ready, and swap places for RTL languages.
Jump to any stop at any time with the Stops menu
Let's say you started at stop four instead of one. You could use the Back and Next buttons to move to stops 3 or 5, but you can also use the Stops menu to move to any stop that interests you. Previously visited stops and active stop indicators help you figure out where you are, and a progress bar measures completion.
Navigate in the world (or your exhibit) with the Tourient app
GPS-enabled maps, deep-linked QR codes, or keypad numbers make accessing tour content simple.
Maps, in any app.
GPS enabled tours plot tour stops (as latitude and longitude pairs) onto a built-in map.
And the Get Directions button supports opening in Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze.
Once they've arrived, Orienteering Hints help guide them to just the right spot. These hints can be shown on tour stops.
Deep-linked QR codes
Skip the "free" QR code generators that aren't actually free. Tourient generates customizable, trackable QR codes directly in the Tour Builder CMS: no extra tools needed.
Each QR code deep-links to a tour stop and can be downloaded in seconds, ready to print or share.

Keypads. Easy as 1-2-3.
If you find QR codes finicky, or prefer typing in a series of numbers, keypad navigation may be the right wayfinding method for your needs.
Set your tour stops to be accessible by any sequence of numbers from one digit to 100 (if you want to make it really hard).
Feeling less structured? We support freeform tours, too.
Prefer a meandering tour, with no specific order or structure? A free form tour may be for you. Simply choose 'none' as your wayfinding method, and let visitors find their own way.
