Overview
The tour feature in TOPO! Explorer gives you the opportunity to take all of your trip’s information, including waypoints, photos, and video and create a slideshow-like presentation that you can keep in your Tours library or upload to the topo.com Web site to share with other explorers. This section explains how to create tours.
Note: Before you create a tour, we recommend you add to your trip any waypoints, photos, and video that you might want to include on the tour. Then you can edit all of those items’ descriptions, symbols, and other information before adding them to the tour.
Step-by-Step
1. In the TOPO! Explorer desktop application, open the trip from which you want to create a tour.
2. From the Tool menu, make sure you have the Pan tool activated.
3. Left-click the mouse button over each waypoint, photo, or video that you want to add to the tour.
4. When you left-click the mouse button, a white balloon window appears with the options: Add to Tour, View, and Edit.
5. To add the item to your tour, click Add to Tour. The Tour panel appears below your map, and the item you added is now listed there.
Note: It is easiest to create the tour by clicking each item you want to add in the order
in which you’d like them to appear in the final tour; however, if you forget to add
an item, you can add it at any time. If you add a new item, it will be added to the
end of the tour’s list. To move it to a different place in the tour, you can drag and
drop the list items in the Tour panel to rearrange their order.
6. When you are done adding items to your tour, click the Play button (with the right-facing arrow) to play the tour. As the tour plays, each item’s information displays in a white balloon.
7. If you want to play the tour more slowly, click the right-facing double-arrow button and the tour will pause until you click the button again.
8. To go back and view a previous item, click the left-facing double-arrow button until you reach the item you wanted to see.
