✅ Before you start

  1. Allow GPS access in your browser. When you press Start Audio Tour, the browser will ask for location permission — tap Allow. Without GPS the guide cannot detect which landmark you are passing.
  2. Set your screen to never sleep.iPhone: Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock → Never. Android: Settings → Display → Screen timeout → longest option.
  3. Use headphones (wired or Bluetooth) so you hear the commentary clearly over tram and street noise.
  4. Sit by a window for the best GPS signal and the best view of each landmark as it is announced.

📍 On the tram

GUIDE is ON by default (lit button) — commentary plays automatically as the tram passes each landmark. You can switch to manual mode any time:

  1. Press Start Audio Tour and board the Light Rail (L2 or L3). All 18 landmarks are shown as numbered pins on the map.
  2. With GUIDE ON, each landmark is narrated automatically as you pass — with the side it is on ("on your left" / "on your right"). Visited cards move to the bottom.
  3. Tap GUIDE to turn auto-play off — then tap ▶ Listen on any card to play that landmark manually.
