version 11.0.0
posted on 2024-01-17
Our community spent over 100,000 hours doing tours last year, and after all that time exploring, you had feedback. Version 11 is a response to your feedback. It includes:
• Wishlisting. You can now bookmark tours when you’re planning a trip or browsing close to home.
• Adjustable audio speeds. This is experimental, because we carefully match audio and travel times, but runners in our community want to move 2x faster and that only works if the audio is 2x faster.
• A redesigned library.

In 10.3.1:
• Updates, bug fixes and overall optimisation
version 10.2.8
posted on 2023-11-08
Version 10.2 helps you choose the best tours more easily and download them faster.
There are over 1,100 VoiceMaps now, in 365 destinations, and with this update you can:
• Get more relevant search results for more detailed queries
• Easily view all the tours you've searched for on a single map
• Start tours in a hurry, without downloading the offline map
We've made downloads more reliable too – and we've made sure of this by testing them with travel eSIMs and weak hotel WiFi.
version 10.1.3
posted on 2023-07-06
VoiceMap is at its best when you’re immersed in new surroundings, with your screen off, but version 10 is about what you’re doing when you’re looking at your tour’s map.
Improvements include:
• Beautiful offline maps. Navigate at a glance.
• Granular controls for users who know their way around.
• Location scripts you can pull up as you go.
• If you stop a tour, VoiceMap resumes exactly where you left off.
• Commenting is easier. Our publishers love hearing that you joined them for a walk!
