SPOTLIGHT: Urality’s Story Maps
Urality's Story Maps provide curated, interactive experiences within your community by merging location, media, and narrative to tell a story through a platform for building well designed, interactive map-based content.
You can put your story on the map. Urality Story Maps are great for public space storytelling (public art, history, architecture, etc). Discoverable via location, activated via QR codes, and embeddable in your own websites. Build a crowd sourced story map by allowing external contributors that can add their own points of interest to your map. As the content owner, you moderate submissions before they appear on the map.
Story Maps support Tours, where locals and visitors can take a self-guided tour with turn-by-turn directions to guide viewers along their route. The Story Map tour can take viewers along specific routes, or you can provide us the points of interest, and we'll generate an optimized route. Turn-by-turn directions are supported for walking, cycling, and driving routes. Viewers are presented with a turn-by-turn interface with media and narrative presented at your points of interest.
