The narration added by GolfTraxx to some flyovers is NOT embedded in the video, but rather played simultaneously. GolfTraxx can add narration for your course flyovers and/or supply content pages for your site. The feedback we have received is that the narration makes the silent videos more fun to watch and interesting.
