Manual locations

What are manual locations?

Manual locations are played manually by tapping the play button. This is unlike regular locations, which play automatically when the listener enters the location's radius.

When would you use a manual location?

Manual locations are useful for the following scenarios:

• Locations that trigger indoors or undercover along an outdoor route
• Locations that are close together in a confined space, where accidental triggering is a risk, when it doesn't make more sense to use the indoor player
• Locations on a route that have reduced GPS accuracy, especially because of urban canyons
• Locations with optional content that listeners can choose to play but can also skip without this affecting the playback sequence

How do you add a manual location to your tour?

In the Your Script tab, click Location Info and select Voice (Manual, Beta), then click Save Location.

Once you've done that, the location's radius will default to 0m and the location's colour will change to teal on the map.
