The Manchester Walking Tours app was created using Under The Paving Stones, a new digital platform from magneticNorth - a digital design company based in Manchester. The Under The Paving Stones platform allows you to create a custom audio and visual experience of a place using GPS to trigger audio so the user can explore an area at their own pace.

In order to trigger audio along your walking tour we use the GPS functionality of your iPhone. We only enable GPS once you have started your tour and once it is complete we disable it. To allow you to place your phone in your pocket when walking the tour we continue to track your location in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can drastically decrease battery life, so please ensure your phone battery is fully charged before starting a tour. We do not capture or save your location information, GPS is only used for triggering audio as you walk the route.
