[BCMA] Self-Guided Tour Apps

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Tammy;

I don’t know much about On This Spot, but they were a sponsor for the 2019 Heritage BC conference in Nanaimo this year.   It seemed that the owners understood history and it is a local company.

Hello, BC Museumland!

I have been investigating self-guided walking tour platforms for a tour of downtown Creston. I’m finding many options, ranging from really gimmicky to really expensive. We do have a small budget for subscription costs, but I’m looking for something sleek and professional on the much lower end of the pricing scale.

We want something that works with all the most popular operating systems and is available to users offline; easy to use for both us (me being pretty non-techy) and our visitors; GPS-enabled; must be able to handle maps, photos, text; audio and video capabilities are a bonus. But, from what I’m seeing, that describes most of the apps out there and I’m hoping somebody has some experience to help me narrow it down?

Thanks!

Tammy
