Glopas is an easy to use and safe audio guide application for cities, tourist sights and parks to offer audio guidance serviced. Download this application if you are visiting a place with Glopas audio guide service.  Stories are best heard with ear phones / a headset. Guiding goes on automatically when proceeding the sight, based on your GPS location. Stories can also be played by browsing the sights on map, unless the sights are set as secret (you can hear the guiding on a secret sight only by visiting the sight). Glopas is working together with music players. It pauses music while a story is being played, and resumes music after the story finishes. Audio files are downloaded and later removed automatically based on your GPS location or map view, within selected quota for media files. You can also download audio files by browsing to the target destination when accessed to a wifi. Do this if your target region doesn't have mobile network coverage or mobile network access is expensive. An orange marker colour indicates when media files is cached.
