A Journey is your route — recorded as you walk it. Add points of interest along the way. When you're ready to share, publish it as a Shared Journey with an 8-character code others can enter to download it.
What Is a Journey?
A Journey is a GPS-recorded walk, hike, or route. As you move, the app traces your path. You stop at meaningful spots and tap to mark a Point of Interest — adding a name, description, photo, and narration. When you finish, you have a living record of the route that others can follow.
Journeys are personal by default. They live on your device. When you're ready to share, publish it as a Shared Journey — an 8-character code lets anyone download and walk your route.
Starting a Journey
From the home screen, tap New Journey. Give it a name — something that captures the place or purpose. Then tap Start Recording.
The app begins tracing your route. A GPS indicator shows your current position. Walk at whatever pace feels natural — there's no timer and no pressure.
Keep the app open while recording. GPS tracking requires the screen active or background location permission enabled. If you lock the screen, check that background location is allowed in your phone's settings for Questing RL.
Adding Points of Interest
When you reach a spot worth noting, tap Mark Point of Interest.
The app fires a burst of GPS readings — several samples over a few seconds — and locks in the most accurate position it can get. You'll see a brief spinner. This produces a significantly better fix than a single instant reading.
📍 Name
What is this place? "The old spring house" or "Where the trail splits north."
📝 Description
Context, history, or instructions. Shown to anyone following the journey.
🔊 Narration
Spoken aloud when a tour player arrives at this stop. Tell the story of the place. Use the 🎤 mic button to dictate hands-free.
📷 Photo
Take a photo right now or choose from your gallery. Shown on the tour stop reveal screen.
⭕ How Close Players Need to Be
How close a tour player needs to be before this stop triggers. 15 meters is normal for outdoor stops.
Tap Save and keep walking. Add as many points as you like — there's no limit.
Finishing Your Journey
When you've reached the end of your route, tap Finish Journey. The app stops recording your path and saves everything.
You'll see a summary: total distance, duration, and number of points of interest. Your journey is now saved to your device.
Editing After Recording
Open your journey from the Journeys list and tap any point of interest to edit its name, description, narration, or photo. You can also reorder stops or remove ones you no longer want.
GPS positions are locked in when you mark them. You can't move a point of interest's map position after the fact — if a stop is in the wrong spot, delete it and re-mark it on your next visit.
Sharing a Journey
Open the journey from your Journeys list. Tap Turn into Shared Journey. Give it a name and optional description, then tap Publish. The app uploads your route and points of interest to the cloud and generates an 8-character share code.
Share that code however you like — text it, put it in an email, print it on a card. Recipients open the Shared Journeys screen in the app, tap Download, enter the code, and the tour is on their device ready to walk. It plays fully offline once downloaded.
📱
What recipients see
The stop count and a preview of the route. They tap Begin Tour and the app guides them stop to stop — playing your narration and photos automatically as they arrive at each location.

Tips
🌳
GPS accuracy matters most at your stops. Stand still for the location reading — don't keep walking while the spinner shows.
🎤
Dictate narration on the spot. The words that come to you while standing at a place are almost always better than what you'd write later at a desk.
📷
Take the photo before you leave. The light, the angle, the moment — it won't be the same on a return visit.
