For smartphones and tablets, a flexible application

The content in the guide is automatically adapted to smartphones and tablets of different sizes. Enjoy the advantages that each format has to offer.

Museums, cultural places and outdoor leisure spaces

Not only is GIDA a personalized guide for museums, exhibition halls or art galleries, it’s also an ideal guide for parks, historical centres and interpretation centres with open-air spaces.

GIDA offers an authentic guided tour

GIDA is a visitor-centered app focused
on the information users need during their visit

The guide contains a general map as well as a map for each itinerary or exhibit. Once the user has selected which exhibit to see, the application offers three different ways to search for information about the artwork; this allows the visitor to choose the most ideal one for their visit.

The guide lets users locate the works of art and shows them the route to follow. It also includes very useful features such as the possibility to search by artwork, artist, location and geo-localization in open-air spaces.

Tailor made and conceived for everyone

GIDA can be adapted and personalized to your needs

It’s remarkably simple to create new itineraries or to adapt existing ones. The application will be personalized with your logo as well as with fonts and colours that are consistent with your brand image. By doing so, the guide will serve as an additional dissemination tool for your institution.

It’s suitable for use in different spaces such as museums, interpretation centres, art galleries, exhibition halls, outdoor routes and promenades, etc.

Content manager: simple, fast and independent

It’s very easy to insert and modify content on the guide

GIDA uses open source content manager software that lets you edit and publish content from any computer connected to the internet and from any browser. No additional software is needed.

GIDA was conceived for centres that change their exhibitions frequently and need to update their guides quickly and independently. The system allows you to insert and publish content on your own, without having to resort to external professional help.

Multi-device and multi-platform

The application is available for devices such as tablets and mobile phones
using Apple® iOS® and Google® Android® systems

These two operating systems represent 82% of the smart mobile devices currently in use*.

In addition, GIDA can be developed for use with other platforms like noticeboards and websites upon request.
