Båtbussguide is your audio guide for the river busses in Karlstad. You can listen to information about the places you pass at the same time as seeing where you are on the real-time map.
** About the River Busses **
During the summer months you are able to travel on river busses and experience Karlstad from the water. The River Busses are operated by Karlstadsbuss. There are seven different routes that offer fantastic trips around central Karlstad and out to the archipelago. New for this year is this iPhone App with audio guide amongst other things. The boat trip is both relaxing and interesting!
** About the App **
Båtbussguide should be primarily used when you travel on the river busses. With the App you can lean back and listen to a guided tour of the waters around Karlstad in your headphones. You can see the position of the boat on the map on your mobile (rather like a GPS navigator in your car). The map is constantly updated via GPS and the audio clips start automatically when the boat passes each place. There are over 50 interesting places in the guide that the boats pass.
** Functionality **
