[OMS_MANAGERS] Digital walking tour

[Don Warren]

city of the dalles
spent $10,000 on a project to create a walking tour map application

there was a web based reference
http://historicthedalles.org/the-dalles/the-dalles-walking-tour/
and now you can get it as an app on your phone android and apple
android --
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usa.dalles&hl=en_US&gl=US
apple --
https://download.cnet.com/The-Dalles-Historical-Tour/3000-20428_4-78334666.html

the City has no plans to extend the tour map app, way points, at this time
