"This is probably the most accessible trail of people of all kinds of disabilities in the entire state. I really hope it spreads."

DiscoveryMAP
DiscoveryMAP is a new service we are offering that makes interactive maps which reside in your website, users' smart phones or tablets.
Interpret a trail with visuals, sounds, videos, points of interest, quizzes etc. That’s all you have to do; we take over - no need to invest in computer operators, or train up staff. You do what you know best - enriching visitor experiences and enhancing their learning; we make GPS controlled deliverables. GPS registers every 2M so, in a trail that may be 3Km long, you can a lot of points of interests (POI).

| Custom Designed Map | Google Map |
Users can obtain the app through iTunes or equivalent source on their mobile devices, and the client can decide whether to charge or not for the app. The whole trail is GPS controlled with the app delivering content as a visitor passes "Points of Interest" defined by the Client. POI's could be simple pictures or fully fledged audio videos. The app trail can be pictorial, as show in the picture above or users can switch any time to google maps, which though detailed can be too detailed and visually noisy! Different maps can be used for the same trail, designed for children, blind and partially sighted, experts, etc.
There are three levels of service: Gold, Silver and Bronze that have different pricing configurations depending on the richness of the assets being developed into apps. In addition we offer a free tester app for the client to make their own trail to test a concept.
