1. Sign in to Beat Box Mapper.
  2. Move and zoom the map to the area where you'd like a Beat Box. There's no address search, so drag the map and zoom in with your fingers, mouse or trackpad.
  3. Select the + button at the top left of the map, then choose Beat Box.
  4. Tap or click the map where you want the Beat Box. A pin appears.
  5. Drag the pin to adjust its position if you need to.
  6. Wait for the placement check. Valid placement means you're good to go.
  7. Select Save.

Your Beat Box is added to the challenge straight away, with its own number. It appears in the Roots app for everyone in your challenge.

To add another Beat Box, select + again and repeat.

Choosing a good spot

Pick a public place that's easy and safe to reach on foot, such as a pavement, path, park entrance or local landmark. Avoid busy roads, private land and places that are hard to get to.

Protect your privacy: don't place a Beat Box directly outside your own home. Everyone in your challenge can see Beat Boxes on the map, so choose a public spot a short walk away instead.

If Save stays greyed out or you see a warning, see Why can't I save my Beat Box here?
