SonicMaps V3

What's New

  • Content Scheduling: The SonicMaps Player will show/hide zones that have been scheduled according to local time.
  • Alternative conditional playback mode: enable if __ has started
  • Multitrack progress bars: New option to enable the visualization of a circular progress bar when playing audio zones. Creators can decide which audio zones will display a progress bar in the Player. Voice group will use this option by default.
  • Added new methods to place project pins in Player: center, coordinates, and route start. The project location on the map (blue or orange marker) is no longer necessarily the center of all existing zones but can be adjusted independently.
