If you are willing to put up with some minor inconveniences, this here is bedrock.
As someone who is seeking to create non-linear tours with upwards of a thousand locations, I think it is safe to assume that I represent the outer limit of this platform’s consumer base. I started making GPS Audio tours on the Detour platform years ago, but when they went defunct, I was left searching for a replacement. After years of searching and several disappointments, I have landed on this platform and still use it to this day. The best piece of advice I could give anyone looking to use these tools is to get used to resetting them: almost every glitch I have yet encountered can be addressed simply by refreshing the voice maps webpage. Stuck on a loading screen? Refresh the page. Map frozen after moving a location? Refresh the page. Location not responding to being clicked on? Refresh the page. Refreshing the page is so integral to the process that some features, such as cloning locations, appear to use it by default, and if anything, this is its biggest weakness. The need to constantly reorient yourself means that certain otherwise simple tasks (such as uploading audio to over 100 locations) can become arduous when you must keep relocating what you were just working on. In addition, navigation and organization can be very difficult because there are next to no tools to compartmentalize your tours or locations. The option to organize tours into folders or bins or even to delete them would be a godsend when dealing with multiple drafts of the same tour, and when you are dealing with tours of hundreds of locations, finding a particular location can become frustrating. The information and tools you have at your disposal are limited by which view you are working in, and you are unable to shrink the browser window to a width lower than 1000 pixels (which is particularly problematic for me as I like to reference notes while working on my tours). These problems are further compounded by the fact that, when a tour has too many locations, Voicemap slows down to the point of being borderline unusable, making it impossible to work on larger tours. Luckily, the Voicemap team is extremely responsive and highly ingenuitive. Even when they don’t have a direct solution, they always manage to find some creative, out of the box way of dealing with my problems, such as when they rigged up a method to combine multiple smaller tours into one larger one as a way of bypassing the slowdown I was experiencing. I could continue complaining, but the truth is that I would just be nitpicking, and these tools were clearly not designed for the scale I’m working at anyway, so if anything I’m impressed they even work. All you really need to know is this; I’ve spent a long time searching for a platform with which to experiment on, and this is the first one that’s stuck because for all its quirks, it is remarkably consistent in its quirkiness. I won’t say it’s perfect, but if you are like me and looking to innovate with GPS Audio Content, I genuinely could not point you to a more solid platform.
