- 2 WAYS TO USE THE GUIDE: SIGHTSEEING PREPARATION OR SIGHTSEEING.
When you are in Paris on the spot of a sight or an itinerary, the map will center on your calculated position with GPS (use the Refresh Center-based map). The icon that figures the user is green. When it is red, it means that the location is off or you are outside the scope of the map of Paris. In this case, the map will center on the spot or in the middle of the itinerary you are viewing.
The application is equipped with a paging function (sheets of sights for an itinerary, sights monuments shops or restaurants nearby). You can, by calling an item of the list, browse adjacent sheets to select the most interesting items for you.

- SMARTPHONE OR TABLET?
The tablet is the most convenient device to prepare the visit; you can better read the texts and enjoy the pictures. Visiting, although the tablet can be used, the smartphone is manageable if coupled with the use of voice synthesis to read the sheets (activated by pressing the speaker icon at the bottom of the cards). You can then use a headset, or simply put your smartphone near your ear, as in a phone call. In all cases we recommend to fix the screen in portrait mode.

Otherwise, it must be enabled (Settings / Language / Text-to-speech / Preferred engine) and in some rare case a download is necessary (eg Google text to speech). If the engine is missing, you are notified.
