How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.

Resume playback to go at your own pace

If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.

Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast

Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.

Do tours without paying for data

Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

Stop in Soho for a coffee or wine and to people-watch. Chinatown is early in the tour but has an array of options for food and drink on the way.

Best time of day

The architecture photography works best in daytime hours.

Precautions

Take only the equipment you can carry. A lens in the range of 18 - 55mm or 18 - 105mm is suitable. I don't recommend a tripod as the footpaths are too narrow.
Be aware that pickpockets work in all areas of the city, but especially where there are crowds. Keep your gear close and be aware of your surroundings at all times. When photographing people, either ask permission first or be discreet. Anyone in a public location can be photographed, but if you are going to be very obvious, please obtain their permission. If you intend to use the photograph commercially, you must have their written consent via a signed model release form.

App Store Review

“Great app. walk around at your own pace, stop where you want, move on or speed up when you want. Read the script before you go or during the commentary, speed it up or replay it. Repeat the tour whenever you like.”
