Screen #2 - Here Torch makes it easy to follow tours with a small map showing the closest landmarks as well as a list/guide of the landmarks they will be travelling to in a scrollable list. This list has a picture of the stop, the stop's name, a small stop description, and an estimate for how much time users on average spend at that specific stop. Users can return to the previous menu by pressing the tab button labelled "Torch" at the top. In addition, at the header at the top, it shows how many stops makes up the tour being show shown and how long the whole tour will take. It will also let you users easily switch between the transportation modes: walking, public transportation, and personal car (inspired by map views found on most phones).

...

Screen #3 - In map view, the users can see all the landmarks close to the location they chose and they can add or remove landmarks/spots from the menu on the side. They can simply click on a landmark to add it to the list or they can drag and drop it to remove or add to the list on the side. At the top it will show how many stops they have selected and the estimated time to see all of them. The user users will have to long-press a landmark on the map to see a description of that spot. To add a landmark to the map, the user users must long-press an area of the map that doesn't already have a landmark. Once the user has users have made their tour, they can click the follow tour button and will be taken to screen #2. In this screen, the user users can still return to screen #1 by pressing the Torch tab in the top left corner.
