I think lockdowns have driven a high-level of interest in this type of technology, which is why I was surprised to see TC being shutdown. We're trying to reproduce something similar on Map the Paths with guidebooks, a fusion of user contributed data + OSM data + Wikipedia data to augment virtual hikes, bicycle rides, etc. Maybe overlaps with OpenDocent? https://mtp.trekview.org/guidebook/list/ https://mtp.trekview.org/guidebook/list/

It does sound like the kind of tour creation I was lacking. If you can download your tours in KML, you could walk them in real life with OpenDocent. (I also implemented support for an ESRI ArcGIS format that did a similar thing. I found that ESRI has a similar "here's a guided tour" feature, but only because I happened to notice that my city offered it as a walking tour of historical markers.) Fusing the Wikipedia and OSM data is very clever. I picked Google Maps as the map provider, for no especially good reason. My next quarantine project used OSM, and it would be easy to adapt.
