Goos tour but disappointing map

Comprehensive tour of the Old Town. Only problem was having to switch between the map and the audio. A printed map (clearly easier to read in the sun) would have helped. The pdf map on the phone was unclear when I zoomed in - could the resolution be increased?

We truly appreciate your suggestions regarding the map, and we will definitely work on improving the clarity of the PDF Your input is very helpful, and we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience.
