This application features Audiotopie soundwalks, audioguided stories oscillating between reality and fiction, which invite you to wander in total immersion with the landscape by focusing on the sensory and social potential of an environment. Several routes are already available in Montreal.
Instructions :
After installing the application, consult the list of soundwalks and download the one you want. Equip yourself with a good pair of headphones for better results. To find the starting point, check the Info tab or locate the blue marker on the map; once you get there, launch the first audio track. The GPS mode will not work in the subway; you will have to manually start the track. Once a soundwalk is downloaded, you wont need any connection; you are totally free to enjoy the experience.

. Downloadable soundwalk over Wi-Fi or 3G
. Automatic GPS triggering works offline
. Selection filter of soundwalks (proximity, topic, audio/video)
. Maps available without a connection
