Amsterdam, Breakfast, Museums, and Soundscape – the perfect weekend!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Frazier from the Soundscape Team. One of my friends is going on a city break to Amsterdam next month and asked me for some tips of things to do there, as they know I\u2019ve been before. Today, I am sharing how I did this using Soundscape’s latest feature, \u201cRoutes\u201d. In this blog, I hope you will not only learn about this amazing new feature, but how much fun it was to revisit my trip and be able to share a few highlights with my friend. Soundscape will work anywhere in the world, so you can travel with it and have your familiar experience in your language of choice.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend only has a weekend in Amsterdam and wants to pack in as much as possible. My plan was to create a walking itinerary for a day using a Route, and then also share some Markers of other places they might like to visit while they are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of this blog, you’ll find links to all the Markers mentioned, so you can try them out for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Soundscape Route?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soundscape Routes are like a trail of Audio Beacons \u2013 a feature of Soundscape which plays a sound which always comes from the direction of the place it\u2019s set on. (Read about Audio Beacons in our \u2018Getting Fresh Air with Microsoft Soundscape\u2019<\/a> blog<\/em>). In fact:\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
