- Open the app outdoors and allow access to your location. Title, walker name and place are optional. The place will be public and you choose it: a city, a town, a neighbourhood or a reference that does not reveal an address. Once a route has started, the ⌖ button next to that field fills it in with the name of the locality.
- Choose how you want to draw. With no option enabled, Walking Lines draws a plain line following your route.
- Press Start and walk. Each new position accepted by the GPS adds a point to the drawing; on screen you see the line, the distance, the time and the number of points.
- You can turn on Paint and change its options while walking: changes apply to the following points, so a single route can combine different gestures. If you turn on Soundscape, you will also need to allow microphone access when starting.
- Press Stop when you finish. Then you can Save the route or Discard it. Saving sends it to the notebook and tries to publish it automatically; with no connection it appears as local and you can use the Upload button later.
It is worth waiting a moment for the phone to find an accurate position before setting off. If the signal is lost —on the underground or inside a building— the recording keeps the points already obtained and tries to recover the GPS automatically.
