In “Start riding” mode as in “Start walking” mode, the voice announces each monument or site as you approach, then reads a short presentation of it, like a museum audio guide.
As you approach a monument or site of the route for which a presentation is known, the voice announces its name, then reads a short text taken from Wikipedia, Wikidata or OpenStreetMap, naming its source.

Listen without stopping or looking at the screen
You keep your eyes on the road or the trail: the presentation comes at the right place, in the language of the page, with your device's voice.

The tourist guide option
The spoken presentation of monuments is an option, off by default: you switch it on with a button of the riding or walking dashboard, signed in to a Vistavel account. You switch it off the same way, without touching the turn instructions.
4
A place sheet to listen to before you leave
On a place sheet, “Listen to the sheet” reads its name, category, description, opening hours and fee, each with its source and licence; unknown information is never made up.
No. Only the monuments and sites for which a presentation is known in Wikipedia, Wikidata or OpenStreetMap are presented. The voice reads only those texts, with their source.
Does the audio guide work with the screen locked?
Keep the screen on: a browser does not guarantee voice when the screen is locked. Reading uses your device's speech synthesis; nothing is recorded and no position is sent.
