HOW TO NAVIGATE MY INTERACTIVE 360° VIRTUAL TOURS
Maximizing your digital scouting experience is simple. Use these quick tips to get the most out of your virtual prep:
- Look Around: Click and drag on desktop, or swipe and move your mobile device for a full 360° view. Full Screen: Click the full screen icon [ ] in the top right corner to expand the tour to full screen. VR Mode: Tap the goggles icon (top right) for a stereoscopic view using any mobile VR headset, even inexpensive ones!
- Follow the Waypoints: Click on the interactive arrow markers to “walk” down the trail and view changing terrain, elevation changes, and key trail forks. Some locations even have markers you can click to see the same views in different seasons!
- Map & Points of Interest: The icons in the bottom-left corner of each trail tour offer “Go-To…” shortcuts to key points of interest and a map marker symbol, which opens a map of the area, displaying orange dots marking every available virtual viewpoint, with the largest dot indicating your current location.
- Photo Carousel: You can browse the carousel at the bottom of each tour, or tuck it out of view by clicking the small white down-arrow below it (up-arrow in the same location reveals it again).
