Can I do a tour in reverse?
1 min readNo – VoiceMap tours follow a fixed route and must be done in the direction they were designed.
There are three reasons for this:
- Directions are written for the forward route. Every left turn becomes a right turn in reverse, so the navigation won't make sense.
- Audio is timed to match the walk. Each location's audio is the right length for the walk to the next stop ahead – not behind. In reverse, the timing is off throughout.
- GPS autoplay won't work. The app expects you to move through locations in a specific sequence. Going in reverse means playback won't trigger correctly.
