Each stop offers viewers a full interactive experience

Tours begin with a destination on a map. Users self-guide by interacting with content at each stop. Tell viewers more with descriptive text, images, video, audio and/or data. Add stops along the tour with descriptions and media. Integrate data charts, heat maps, infographics or property reports. List website URLs and/or social media handles for organizations along the way.

Start with an introduction

Welcome users at the first destination on the map. Use the text description to set the scene and explain what you'll be exploring along the way, using text, images, video, audio, 360° map views and data.

Locate the stop on the map

Your tour will depart from the first stop on the map. When building the tour, you can enter this with an address or geographical coordinates. Each stop along the way will be indicated with a pin at a specific place on the map.

Provide an interactive street view

Where will we go next? Help your tour users orient by building in Google's interactive Street View. These snapshots on different locations help them get up close and personal, feeling like if they were there.

Offer a 360° immersive visit

Let your users explore at any stop with a 360° interactive tour. Using Google’s familiar interface, they can use their mouse or track pad to move the view in all directions or explore down a road or path.

Provide data reports

Add robust data by integrating reports from GIS Planning’s suite data tools: infographics, property reports, workforce, consumer spending, business and industry, along with data visualizations in charts of thematic heat maps.

Focus on images and video

Fill in the details at each of the stops along your tour by adding different images and video. Users can scroll through them to get added detail and information about the sights and sounds of each location.
