Great news! We have updated the offline tour functionality for our Full Screen HD Tour to work with either a Mac or Windows based computer. Previously, our old offline tour was only Windows compatible. Plus, the offline tour matches the online version exactly. So when you open it up, you get big photos and floor plans that you can view without any Internet access! Our video even works! Please note that some features, like the RoomPlanner or the Map, still need Internet access to work. However, you can use this for listing presentations and not have to worry about being connected.
Steps to get started.
1. You need to use the Full Screen HD Tour.
You can change any tour to the new Full Screen HD Tour by going to Manage Tours, select the Edit details link under Tour Info (or Edit Tour) and select the Full Screen Tour option under Tour Frame Type.
2. Go to the Marketing Center to download the tour.
From Manage Tours, go to the Photos & Marketing Tools link. Select the Save Tour to PC/Burn CD button. It will open a window. Just click the button for Download Tour.
Note: Our server will process the files for download…so be patient. I can take a minute or two before you see any movement…
Once it is downloaded to your computer, you will need to unzip the files. For Mac users, just double click the zipped folder and it will be unzipped into a new folder. For Windows users, you need to select the Extract Files button.
3. Click to Launch Offline Tour.
Once the files are extracted into a new folder, to launch the offline tour, just click the Open_Tour.html button.
4. Burn to a CD.
With the new offline tour, you can burn it to a CD or DVD for use on another computer. Just select the unzipped folder, right click and Send to… and select your CD or DVD drive. Just note…many computers now days do not have a CD or DVD drive. So the best use of your tour is the flyer with the link and QR code on it to direct the user to the online version.
That’s it! Enjoy!
