About

Liveguide Maps

Features
Read full description

Liveguide makes explaining a map for an online audio-only audience super simple. Ideal for twitter spaces, where the audience can listen to a live audio feed, Liveguide lets the speaker or host steer an interactive map to a relevant section and this map area is automatically displayed on the listener's device. Inspired by the effort to teach the public about Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine's valiant effort to restore its full territory and sovereignty. We are also happy to assist those advocating and educating for the liberation of the Iranian people as they seek a government that has respect for human rights, personal liberty and the full consent of the Iranian people. If you like the app please consider a donation to one of the many charities supporting the people of Ukraine including https://www.mriyaaid.org. We are still looking for an Iranian fund to support their efforts.
