How does Mappu work as a self-guided audio tour app?
Mappu connects your itinerary, map context, and place details so audio guide moments can follow the trip you are actually taking.

Self-guided audio travel guide connected to your trip plan
The audio guide is how Mappu keeps a trip plan useful when you are already there, with place-aware context tied back to your map and itinerary.
Quick answer
What is an audio travel guide app?
An audio travel guide explains landmarks, neighborhoods, viewpoints, and important places while you explore. Mappu connects that guide experience to your itinerary, map, and travel context, so audio guidance can support the trip you planned instead of behaving like a separate fixed tour.
Why use a GPS-style audio guide instead of reading while walking?
A walking audio tour lets you keep your eyes on the city while still hearing context, stories, and practical orientation for important places.
- Hands-light exploration
- Place-aware context
- Works with itinerary stops
Can audio walking tours connect to my itinerary?
Yes. Mappu is built around the handoff from planned route to city audio guide, so the story of each place can stay close to the stops you saved.
