Sites Of History is your own personal guide to historical areas and museums around the world. All areas we cover are available in the app, and more areas are added continuously.
The functionality covers an area map, an audio guide, a list of the buildings in the area, a description of the entire area, markings on maps of where the buildings used to be and lots of photographical material, showing what the buildings used to be like in previous times.
The area map
The guide includes a map of the entire area. This map will have every building of interested plotted in, and by using GPS your location in the area is shown as well. This means that you will always know exactly where you are, and how to get to the parts of the areas that you want to see.
The buildings in the area
Each building in the area is described in detail. Each description goes through the history of the building, explaining the purpose of the building, important events that happened there, the architectural specifications, etc.
The buildings are also marked on a map, showing where the buildings are/used to be placed. This map also shows your location by using the GPS location plotter on your phone or tablet. If your GPS is switched off, the map will still work, but your location will not be shown.
The app also offers photographs of how the buildings used to look in the past. However, this is not available for all buildings.
Area Description
A complete walkthrough of the history of the excavation site/museum in question is provided. This covers the history of the entire site from when it was established to present day. This part of the guide will give you a good background on the site, before you start going into the details on the different buildings and sites in the area.
Audio guide
All texts in the app can be read out loud to you using TTS or “Text To Speech” functionality, so that you can focus on viewing the excavated buildings and the beauty of the areas. The voice used to read the texts to you is the one available in Text to speech on your device.
