# Heritage Trail App | Audio Guides and Geofencing | GoodBarber

[https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1716803155589_28-membership_cultural_historical_travels_maps_vid1_processed.webm](https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1716803155589_28-membership_cultural_historical_travels_maps_vid1_processed.webm)

Create a heritage trail app

# Heritage trail app: an audio guide at every stop, and a notification when visitors arrive

## Walkers follow the circuit on the map; in front of the abbey, their phone suggests the episode about the monks who built it, and they listen with the screen off, as they walk.

Build your heritage trail app, for iPhone, Android and browsers, with no coding: audio guides published as podcast episodes, the circuit's stops on a map, a geofenced notification in front of each site, one circuit free and the others for subscribers.

## The audio guide starts where the visitor stands

### A zone around each site, a notification that invites them to listen

Draw a zone around the abbey, the covered bridge, the old tannery. When a visitor's phone enters it, the app shows: “You're at the abbey. Stop 4: hear the story of its builders.” The visitor opens the circuit and plays stop 4. The trigger happens on the phone, provided the visitor has allowed location access; everyone else follows the numbered map.

## One episode per stop

### Your audio guides, published as a podcast

Each stop has its episode, three to six minutes long, recorded by your guide or an actor, with a photo, and its transcript published as an article alongside. Episodes keep playing with the screen locked and can be downloaded before the walk, for villages where the signal is weak.

## The circuit on the map

### Numbered stops, and the walking time between them

The map shows the circuit's stops in order, with the walking time from one to the next and the places to rest: the shady square, the café below the ramparts, the toilets. Visitors who start halfway find the nearest stop and pick up from there.

## An app, rented audio guide devices or a QR code on each panel?

Three ways to tell your heritage. The table shows what each one involves.

## One circuit free, the others for subscribers

### A single subscription unlocks the whole collection

Offer the historic center circuit to everyone; reserve the medieval villages, the industrial heritage and the night circuit for subscribers, who pay monthly or yearly through the App Store or Google Play. Only episodes uploaded in the app's back office can be reserved: an episode coming from an external podcast feed stays open to all.

## Three ways AI serves the circuit

What each one does, and its price.

To answer

### Questions about what visitors just heard

“Who built the bridge?” The Chatbot answers from the transcripts and stop sheets you publish as articles, and from the circuit's points on the map.

$35/month

To show

### Then and now

Describe a section where visitors drag a slider across a photo of the square in 1900 to reveal today's view, and the AI Extension Builder builds it into your app. An example to adapt to your own archives.

Free

To publish

### A new episode from Claude

With the MCP server, you ask your AI assistant to publish the recorded episode in the right circuit and schedule its announcement; you confirm, and it's done in your app.

## How much does a heritage trail app with audio guides cost?

Geofencing and subscriptions both need the native apps: the Premium plan includes geofencing, and Memberships is added to it. The Pro plan contains Memberships. Episodes are stored in your plan's space.

| **Premium** · apps, web and geofencing | $55 /month, billed yearly  |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Memberships, on Premium                | $49 /month                 |
| **Pro** · Memberships comes with it    | $105 /month, billed yearly |

Each store keeps its commission on subscriptions, 15% in most cases; GoodBarber takes none. Developer accounts are paid to Apple and Google.

## Heritage trail app: questions from heritage teams

**### Can visitors listen without a data connection?**

Yes, if they download the episodes before setting off: they then play with no network, in the background.

**### What if a visitor hasn't allowed location access?**

They follow the numbered map and play each stop's episode from the list. The notification on arrival is a bonus, not a requirement.

**### Can the audio guides be in several languages?**

Yes: one podcast section per language, each with its own episodes. Visitors open the one they understand.

**### Can I sell one circuit on its own?**

No: the subscription opens every reserved circuit at once, monthly or yearly. There is no one-off purchase of a single circuit.

**### What about tours with a guide in person?**

For private or group tours booked with a guide, the tour guide app with booking fits better; this app is for visitors who explore on their own.

**### How much does a heritage trail app cost?**

The Premium plan, which includes geofencing, with Memberships on top, or the Pro plan, which contains it. The stores bill their developer accounts separately.
