Basic info
The name and tagline appear in the browser tab and throughout the app.
Splash screen
The first screen visitors see when they open the tour. A welcoming photo and a clear heading make a great impression.
Filename relative to your trail folder, e.g. images/splash.jpg. Landscape photos work best.
Defaults to the trail name if left blank.
Leave blank to hide.

If filled, a second button appears on the splash screen linking here. Leave blank to hide the button.
GeoJSON file
The filename of your GeoJSON file, created with the Heritage Trail map editor. It must be in the same folder as your trail.
Just the filename — no path needed. It must sit in the same folder as index.html and config.js.
Map settings
The starting position and zoom when the map first opens. The trail will re-centre on the visitor's location once GPS is acquired.
Decimal degrees. Find on Google Maps — right-click any point.
14–15 = town overview. 16–17 = street level. 18–19 = very close up.
Voyager is clean and works well for village trails. All options are free to use.
GPS & proximity
How close a visitor needs to be before a point of interest opens automatically.
10 metres works well in villages. Increase to 20–30 if GPS is unreliable in your area, or for points near busy roads.
Branding
Colours and a logo that give the trail your group's identity.
Used for buttons and highlights. A colour that matches your group's website or materials works well.
A lighter shade of the accent colour — usually around 40% lighter.
An emoji or short text shown in the splash screen header. Leave blank to show nothing.
Audio
Settings for the audio guide that plays when a visitor reaches each point.
If the visitor's browser blocks auto-play, a play button appears instead. Recommended: on.
Audio file naming: Audio files are linked in your GeoJSON, not here. Name them to match your points of interest, e.g. audio/stop-01.mp3, and reference them in the editor. MP3 works on all phones.
