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.

Menu items

	Play/pause	period
	Next Marker	F8
	Previous Marker	F5
	Forward	F7
	Back	F6
	Fast Forward	F9
	Slow Forward	Shift-F9

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

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