- From here you can either add existing Markers, select new places from the Places Nearby option, add your current location, or search for somewhere else.<\/li>
- Once you have added all the places you\u2019d like in your Route, select \u2018done\u2019. You can now reorder or remove waypoints if needed, if not, select the \u2018done\u2019 button again and your Route will be saved. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Select the \u2018share\u2019 button which will then give you a number of sharing options.<\/li>
- As the Route is shared as a file rather than a link, we recommend sharing it via email. Other platforms will work but may require extra steps.<\/li>
- When receiving a file, tap on it, and then select the \u2018share\u2019 icon. This will give the option of various apps you can \u2018share\u2019 the Route with, select Soundscape. Soundscape will open and you will be presented with the option to save the Route. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Creating a Marker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- To create a Marker, firstly find the place you would like to save as a Marker. You can do this by either selecting somewhere from the \u2018Places Nearby\u2019 list, selecting \u2018current location\u2019 on the home screen, or by searching using the search bar at the top of the home screen.<\/li>
- Once you are on the location details page for your chosen place, select the \u2018Save as Marker\u2019 button.<\/li>
- The name will be automatically filled, but you can change this, and you can also add an annotation which will be announced along with the name when the Marker is nearby. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Repositioning a Marker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- If you would like the change the location of a Marker you have created, select the \u2018Markers and Routes\u2019 button on the Soundscape home screen and then select the Marker you would like to reposition.<\/li>
- Select \u2018Edit Marker\u2019, followed by the \u2018edit\u2019 button on the map at the bottom of the screen. Note: with voiceover this is called the \u2018Nudge Marker\u2019 button.<\/li>
- If you aren\u2019t using voiceover, then at this point you can drag the map until the Marker\u2019s pin is in the correct location. Once you are happy with the location, select \u2018done\u2019 to close the map view, and then \u2018done\u2019 again to save the change to your Marker.<\/li>
- If you are using Voiceover, select \u2018edit Marker\u2019, followed by \u2018nudge Marker\u2019. You can then either nudge the Marker in the direction that your phone is pointing or use Voiceover actions to nudge the Marker in a specific direction or snap it to your current location.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
