Now you are ready to start adding regions to your mediascape which are the areas on the map which will act as triggers for your content files telling them to appear or play at a particular place. If you did a plan earlier, you should look at it now to remind yourself where you want your images and sounds to play. Follow these steps to add a region:

1. Select 'Edit' mode

Make sure that the Edit mode is selected in the row of buttons beneath the map (not Move).

2. Make circle region

Click on Circle. A circle will appear in the centre of your map, with a blue box around it.

3. Move region

This blue box is to show that this is a region that you have currently selected

You can move it to where you want by clicking and dragging it.

Make sure the region is on a place on the map that you think you will be able to walk through when you use the mediascape outside.


4. Name your region

Change the name of your first region before you add any more, as it will help to keep things clear.

Do this by clicking on the name of the region in the script window

When you change the name here, it will change on the region itself automatically.

Use a useful name, for example one that describes what sounds or images are attached there.


5. Create more regions

Repeat these steps to make more regions.

Tips

We recommend making your regions at least 20 metres across (any smaller and your GPS might not be accurate enough for it to work properly).

When you create a new circle region, it has a radius of around 60 metres. When you create a new polygon region it is around 60 metres square in size.
