Walks

About walks​

A walk is an audio walk, tour or any other experiences you create that contains a number of "stops" - Echoes. You can set a title, description and cover image for each walk.

Once you publish a walk anyone will be able to see, download and use it in the Echoes Explorer mobile app. We strongly recommend you write a good description of your creation and set a cover image, as this will greatly increase your exposure. You can spread the word about your piece (we even generate a unique QR code for each walk). You can also charge for your content. Get in touch with us to set this up.

There are a number of options you can set on a walk:

Publish status​

controls whether the walk is visible in the app.

  • draft means it's invisible, apart from under 'walks by me' when you're signed in.
  • private means it can be shared, but won't appear in listings or searches.
  • public means it is visible in lists and searches everywhere.

Views​

you can control which 'views' your walk uses. By default, the 'map' and 'list' view are active. There are three options, and you can reorder them by dragging.

  • map - the main map view, showing all the zones.
  • list - a list of all zones, with all text and images, with manual playback options.
  • immersive - a large play button with a visualisation of the zones. Great for when you want an immersive listening experience.
