Four routes on sights of Tomsk are available on the website of the project. They are followed by comments, photos and the map which 2can be downloaded to phone and to walk, without being afraid to get lost.

"I was born and lived in Tomsk therefore I know the city well. And often I hear that we have no place to go. Yes, this is not St. Petersburg with canals and palaces but there are places to walk. <…> Of course, it is necessary to understand that the city isn't limited to four routes. This guide is some kind of push to further independent studying of Tomsk", – the press service of TSU cites Lenshina's words in turn.

Lenshina explains on the page in the social network VKontakte that the developers made the version only for the computer so far, "so it is better for you to believe, accept and not to try to open it with a mobile phone".
