Quick answer

How does Mappu work as a self-guided audio travel guide?

Choose a public Mappu guide, such as the Pantheon, Pompeii, the Tower of London, or the Sagrada Família, or open guide content from a supported itinerary stop. Mappu pairs concise place context with the map so you can listen while looking around. It is a self-guided digital companion: it does not replace venue instructions, a licensed human guide, or turn-by-turn navigation, and not every destination has audio coverage.

Live guide

Start from a real place, not a fixed tour package

Public guides let you preview the experience before creating a trip. When guide content is available for a stop, you can open it from the travel flow and keep the place connected to the itinerary and map instead of searching for a separate recording.

  • Public landmark examples
  • Place context on the map
  • Audio for supported guides
  • No claim of universal coverage

Listen without losing sight of the place

Short audio context is useful when reading a façade, crossing a square, or understanding why a landmark matters. Pause when the surroundings need attention, and follow local signs, staff instructions, and safety rules before anything in the guide.

Know what the audio guide does not do

Mappu guides are compact orientation and storytelling layers, not exhaustive museum catalogues. Availability, depth, and language can differ by place. Use official venue material for current access rules and a navigation app for precise directions.

Common questions

Can I try a Mappu audio guide before planning a trip?

Yes. This page links to public examples for the Pantheon, Pompeii, the Tower of London, and the Sagrada Família so you can inspect real coverage first.

Is audio available for every destination and stop?

No. Guide coverage varies by place and language. Check the public guide or the stop in Mappu rather than assuming that every saved location has audio.

Does the audio guide replace venue rules or navigation?

No. Follow current venue instructions and local safety information, and use a dedicated navigation service when you need turn-by-turn directions.
