The City Tour-Navigator is a GPS-triggered multimedia guide that takes you from one Point Of Interest (POI) to the next. At each POI a 1 to 4 minute video file is played automatically.
The red POIs are "stop points", so please remain standing. When the video is finished, the City Tour Navigator will request you to continue the tour.
Unlike the red POIs the green POIs aren’t stop points. They are "information points" that provide background information all over the whole route. If you approach the green POIs within a radius of 15 meters, an audio file containing useful information will be played automatically on your way to the next POI.
Single Points Of Interest video & audio files which are displayed on the tour map can be played manually by touching the POI icons. So that you can watch the whole tour at home, too!
The app menu is in English. The app content is provided in the language of the country where your Apple-ID is registered. For example: If you are registered in the German iTunes Store, the app will be in German. These languages can be purchased within the app: Spanish, French, German, Russian, Italian and Dutch.
The author & editor of CTN is Bernardus Steenbeek, who has already been a Berlin guide when the Berlin Wall was still in place. He has led more than 100,000 visitors through Berlin, himself.
