Nice way to experience the city of Vardø. VoiceMap gives you interesting and local information and history, and it worked perfectly.

Kult konsept!! Systemet bruker telefonens GPS og guiden begynner å snakke mens du beveger deg til stadig nye steder. Behagelig stemme på guiden er et pluss! Anbefales!!
