v1.0.1

Interactive map feature added

We added support for outdoor tours. Now you can add an optional interactive map to your audio guide application. The map feature helps visitors better understand their surroundings and discover nearby points of interest, making it especially useful for city guides, walking tours, and outdoor experiences.

What's included

• Map tab displaying all tour stops
• GPS-based visitor positioning
• Nearby stop highlighting
• Marker clustering for large tours
• Out-of-the-box support for CARTO maps (Voyager, Positron, Dark Matter)
• Additional support for multiple tile providers like MapTiler, Mapbox or Jawg Maps
• Quick navigation from map markers to tour stops

Tour data validation added

Tour content files are now validated against a schema, so configuration mistakes are caught early — both live in your editor as you type and as an automated build/CI check — instead of surfacing as broken behavior for visitors.

What's included

• Inline editor validation with autocomplete for metadata.json and the language files
• Catches unsupported or misspelled properties
• Validates allowed values (stop types, map provider, CARTO map styles)
• Flags missing required fields for each stop type
• Build- and CI-time gate so invalid tour data can't ship
• Schemas generated from the TypeScript types, so they always stay in sync
