Plan your trail

Curating your own trail of discovery as part of the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail is delightfully easy. This allows you to travel the trail using your smartphone as your guide.

You can build your own unique Art Trail by adding artists who pique your interest to the 'My Favourites' list by clicking the bookmark in the top right-hand corner of their image. Create a customised trail by clicking on the artists in the order you want to visit them on the map and open the route in Google Maps. You can also email yourself 'your favourites' list with links to the artists’ profiles and your customised Google Map.

 

Here's how to plan your trail step-by-step:

• Click Log in at top of page and create an account or log in.
• Click Go to participating artists.
• Browse and select your favourites by clicking the bookmark symbol at the top right of the image of the artists you want to see.
• To create your itinerary, click My favourites. Scroll down to the map. Your favourites will appear on the map as a black dot with their artist #number.
• Click on each dot in the order you want to visit them.
• Scroll down and click Email route to me.
• Open the email on your phone.
• Click Open route in Google Maps.
• This will open the route in Google Maps. If you don't already have the Google Maps app on your phone, you'll be asked to download it. Once downloaded, you may have to go back to the email and click the link again for it to open directly in Google Maps on your phone. This is only when you download the app for the first time. 
• When you’re ready to go, click Start.
• You can flick back and forth between the route and your email to read the artists’ profiles as you go.
