Main menu > Audio

This menu controls the playback of an audio recording that you would have made to complement the GPS tracks you collected during surveying.

If you are audio mapping a lot, you will probably want to use the Toolbar Preferences to put the buttons for audio playback on your toolbar in the familiar arrangement of such controls.

See Audio Mapping for techniques you might adopt to make efficient use of audio recordings.

Also see:

• Import Audio to make an audio Marker Layer.
• Synchronize Audio with the GPS track.

As well as these controls, you can jump directly to a point in the sound track related to a position on the GPX track by

• dragging the play head close to a trackpoint
  • if you don't see the orange play head arrow moving along the track while you play audio, make sure the 'Display live audio trace' option in Audio Preferences is on.
• clicking on an audio marker
