Wayfinding

If this is a tour stop on a GPS-enabled tour, here we enter an address, or a pair of latitude-longitude coordinates, that the visitor can navigate to using their maps app.

If this is a mobile guide, there will be a keypad number field in this tab.

You can also add an Orienteering Note, to help visitors get to the right place.

Audio

Upload an audio file for the stop's audio player. The field accepts MP3 and M4A files with a maximum file size of 10 MB.

You can also request generated text to speech audio.

Audio Transcript

In addition to text blocks, you can add a dedicated audio transcript via the Audio Transcript field. Anything placed into this field will be hidden behind a 'Show Transcript' button below the audio player.

Related links

Here we add links to related resources or websites that a visitor can access for more information about this tour stop (or topics the stop discusses).

  1. Click the + button to add a link.

  2. Enter an optional context for the link, the URL, a link title, and a link description.

  3. To rearrange the links, click the link block's heading once to collapse it. Then, click and drag the handle at the top-left of the link block.

  4. To temporarily hide a link, click the toggle on the right side of the link block. To delete a link, click the three horizontal dots (...) on the right side of the link block, then click Delete.
