--- title: "How it works | Daryane" description: "Three gestures for visitors. For you, an online editor to create your map, or a set-up done by us, a QR code and a dashboard." url: https://daryane.fr/en/how-it-works language: en --- # How it works For your visitors, three gestures. For you, two ways to go: create your map yourself in the online editor, or leave it to us. ## Visitor side ### Scan The visitor scans the QR code on your signage. The map of your venue opens straight away. ### Choose Their phone places them on the map. They choose where to go from a clear list: stage, toilets, first aid, exit. ### Follow The most direct path appears on a map that truly looks like your venue, with every turn announced, on screen or out loud. If they stray, the route is recalculated. ## Much more than a map. On the visitor's phone, Daryane answers the questions they ask themselves along the way. ### Voice guidance Directions are spoken out loud, in the phone's language: the visitor keeps their eyes on the way ahead. ### Routes that fit On foot, by bike, by car or in a wheelchair, avoiding difficult passages: everyone states their needs, and the route respects them. ### Live crowds and waiting times Quiet, full, twenty minutes' wait, closed: what you report appears straight away on your visitors' phones. ### Guided tours A visit step by step, with a photo, a video, a sound or a text read out loud at each arrival. ### A page for every destination Description, price, pictogram, groups (food, stages, services): visitors know where they are going before they set off. ### Seven languages French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Arabic: the interface follows the phone's language, and your texts can be entered in each language. ## Discovery trails, step by step. A town's heritage, a nature trail, a tour of a castle or an industrial site: your visitors follow a trail, and each step tells them about what is right in front of them. ### A QR code at every step One plaque per step: by scanning it, the visitor opens that step's card, even if they start the trail halfway through. ### Video, sound or text read aloud At each arrival, a video, a photo, a recording or a text read aloud, in the phone's language. ### Guided to the next step "Next step": the route appears and guidance resumes, taking the visitor's needs into account: on foot, by bike, or along ways accessible to people with reduced mobility. ### In order or at leisure The visitor follows the trail step by step or wanders freely: if they reach a step on their own, its card opens. ### Residents and tourists Your texts and the interface in seven languages: one trail for everyone, with no guide to book. ### Figures for your reports Plaques scanned, trails started and completed, steps reached: enough to report on, without knowing anything about the visitors. ## The idea in a video Daryane in one minute: scan, choice of destination, route. ## Organiser side Your dashboard keeps you in charge, before and during opening hours. ### Open, close, announce waiting times Bar closed, toilets overcrowded, a ride with a twenty-minute wait: you report it from the dashboard, and your visitors see it straight away. ### Edit paths and destinations You change a label, a path or a destination without reprinting anything. Changes are unlimited. ### A QR code in your colours Your colours, your logo, a frame with a call to action, as SVG, PNG or PDF for the printer. The content evolves, the code stays the same. ### Measure use From scan to arrival: openings, requested destinations, guidance sessions, peak hours, languages, without knowing anything about your visitors. ### Be alerted The dashboard flags what needs your attention: a full destination, a growing wait, crowd levels not updated, a licence coming to an end. ### See what the visitor sees A phone preview sits next to your dashboard, without skewing your statistics. ## Create your map yourself The online editor is included in every plan. No need to be a cartographer: Daryane does the heavy lifting. ### Start from an address Enter the address of your venue and frame the area: the map of the area becomes your map, calibrated to GPS without any survey. Have your own drawing? Upload it as an SVG file. ### A background in your style Ten ready-to-use background styles, including one in your map's colours, or an AI makeover based on your idea: Christmas night, Halloween, festival mood. ### Paths drawn for you Daryane suggests the paths from the map or from your drawing, with street names. All that is left is to touch them up. ### Traffic rules Pedestrians, bikes, cars, wheelchairs, one-way paths, difficult passages, impassable barriers: each path says who may use it, and in which direction. ### Destinations, groups and landmarks Pages with description and price, pictograms, groups, and landmarks drawn on the map to help people find their bearings. ### Tours and route testing Chain the steps of a visit with photos, videos, sounds and texts, and test any route in the editor before opening to the public. ## Or leave the set-up to us We draw your map and lay out its paths and destinations. As soon as it is approved, the QR code is ready and working. ### Project analysis Together we study your venue, your visitors and your constraints, to build a tailor-made project. ### Drawing your map We draw a map showing your buildings, greenery and entrances, in your brand style. Its main points are calibrated with GPS readings. ### Laying out the paths We connect the destinations you have chosen: stages, first aid posts, toilets, buildings, exits. ### Handing over the QR code You receive your QR code as SVG, PNG or PDF, ready to put on your signage. Daryane works straight away, and you stay in charge in the editor. ## What else we can do ### Signage and printed material No signage? We design it in your brand style and produce the supports. Standard signs are also available to get started quickly. ### Support during your events Support available 24 hours a day during the event, to change destinations and paths at your request. ### Training A kit of video tutorials and PDF guides and, if you wish, training for your teams so that they become self-sufficient. ## Good to know - Daryane uses the phone's GPS: it is designed for outdoor sites and groups of buildings. - An internet connection is needed to open the map. - The visitor allows geolocation when opening the map. Without it, the map, the destinations and their pages can still be viewed, but guidance does not work. - Daryane is a wayfinding aid. It does not replace regulatory signage, evacuation plans or safety instructions. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do my visitors need to install an app? No. The QR code opens Daryane in the phone's browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create. ### What happens if a visitor gets lost? The map shows their position at all times and the route is recalculated if they stray from the path. If they are off the map, an arrow shows them which way the site is and how far. ### What data is collected? No personal data. Openings, chosen destinations and arrivals are counted anonymously, with no name and no position. The visitor's position stays on their phone. ### Is an internet connection needed? Yes, to open the map. Guidance then relies on the phone's GPS. ### I don't have a drawn map. Is that a problem? No. Daryane starts from a map of your address, draws it in the style of your choice and suggests the paths. You can also upload your own drawing as an SVG file. ### Is the map accurate? On a base map, the map is calibrated to GPS automatically. On your own drawing, it is calibrated with points surveyed on the ground. ### Is Daryane suitable for people with reduced mobility? Yes. You mark the accessible paths and destinations. A visitor in a wheelchair turns on the accessible route: the route then only uses those paths. You can also set the difficulty of the paths (slope, steps), and everyone chooses the level they accept. ### Can I create a discovery trail? Yes. In the editor, you choose the steps on the map, then give each one a video, a photo, a sound or a text. Each trail and each step has its own QR code, to put on your plaques. ### What happens if a visitor starts halfway through the trail? By scanning a step's plaque, they open its card directly, then "Next step" guides them on to the rest of the trail. ### How do I add it to my signage? You download the QR code in your colours, with your logo and a frame, as SVG, PNG or PDF ready for the printer. We can also design and produce signage in your brand style. ## You have arrived.
