Prepare the task

A matching map name is only one part of a visit. The destination must also correspond to the right entrance and travel constraints.

1
Identify the destination
Compare name, address and the venue’s site. Confirm exceptional closures, booking and the relevant entrance with the destination.
2
Examine the journey
Choose the right mode and time. For public transport, check the operator and disruption information too.
3
Prepare a fallback
Keep the address, booking reference and contact route. Test essential information offline and consider another option where needed.

An example to adapt

A museum has several buildings: check the exhibition’s building and suitable entrance rather than saving only the general name.

The directory records identify publishers and link to their official services. Choose by task; inclusion does not guarantee an outcome.
