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 set the option "Display the Audio menu" under Audio Settings to put the buttons for audio playback on your toolbar in the familiar arrangement of such controls.

source:/trunk/images/audio-playpause.png Play/pause period
source:/trunk/images/audio-next.png Next Marker F8
source:/trunk/images/audio-prev.png Previous Marker F5
source:/trunk/images/audio-fwd.png Forward F7
source:/trunk/images/audio-back.png Back F6
source:/trunk/images/audio-faster.png Faster F9
source:/trunk/images/audio-slower.png Slower F4

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 orange play head arrow source:/trunk/images/markers/audio-tracer.png close to a trackpoint
    • if you don't see the orange play head arrow source:/trunk/images/markers/audio-tracer.png 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 source:/trunk/images/markers/speech.png

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