TiCL allows a user to both CREATE and ENJOY: • imaginative and fun 'trails', 'safaris' and 'treasure hunts' • accessible information at points of interest, 'destination' information and simplified event navigation -'geo-caching' opportunities 'find me' games and much more! ...so if you're an event organiser, destination manager, town centre manager, festival organiser or just want to organise an exciting and different game or party activity in your area - you'll want to have TiCL up your sleeve! If you open the App and there's nothing near you then you'll want to: CREATE TiCL has everything you need to 'Pimp a Place'! TiCL creates the means for you to navigate people around and inform them about points of interest. TiCL allows the user to link different locations or points of interest in their environment to create a 'trail' or 'safari'. The theme of the trail is up to you! We've featured sculpture trails, open art houses, restaurant safaris, exhibitors, stallholders, forest gardens..... Helping people navigate around a small area can be difficult TiCL creates an effective, simple to use and fun solution - an arrow! The App allows the presentation of points of interest as small, easily updatable pieces of text -"TiCL's" - coupled with links chosen by the user. This means even complex informative trails can be created and kept updated very quickly and easily. It also means you can tailor the information you provide to suit your intended users' abilities making TiCL an access friendly App. e.g. if you want to provide information to the partially sighted you might chose links to documents with larger typefaces or audiofiles. ENJOY TiCL helps you find out about your immediate environment and helps you navigate between 'points of interest' there. TiCL presents, we believe, the simplest possible way of finding information about the point you're at, you just open the App! No searching, no navigating, no key strokes, no QR codes! TiCL orders its information based purely by its proximity to you - so if you're there you see it at the top of the list (and if you're close to it you will see it and the App will direct you to it). TiCL provides an ingenious, simple and fun mechanism for directing you to and between different locations. Maps and traditional 'routing' methods don't suit all users especially in smaller areas. Not only does TiCL show the locations on a map (suitable for large areas) its 'Direct Me' compass feature simply points straight to a location and gives a distance to it - ideal for smaller or more complex areas and places where other Maps are just a grey or green square You can create TiCLs from your smartphone for FREE in just a few seconds and if you like what you've created the App creates the means for you to keep them available for everyone to use for as long as you want. There's lots more to say about TiCL and lots more it can do for you - but you don't want to read about it .... as it is with where you're at right now, so it is with TiCL, don't just sit there - join in! And you’ll find the TiCL team ready to assist and support you via email on contact@ticl.me. Experience it, share it - TiCL it!
