## Step1: Insert the location data

In this step we'll add all the necessary information for the location (e.g. Title, description, Styles, etc). For example we name this location "**My Favourite Spot**" and we write a description, a short description and we tell to the visitors, why they should visit that spot.

## Step 2: Add a custom tab

In this step we add a custom tab to the location page. In this tab, for example, we'll provide a PDF flyer.

Click on the button "**Add empty tab**".

Enter the necessary information for the tab, as described below. In the tab content you can insert link, format the text and insert an ordered or unordered list.

## Step 3: Add an image gallery

In this step we'll add an image gallery with the images of the spot. Click on the button "**Add/edit gallery**".

Through the media dialog, select all the images by **pressing CTRL** (on Windows or Linux) or **CMD** (on MacOS) and selecting all the images we'd like to show for the location with the left click on the mouse. You can upload a new images using the tab "Upload files". Once you have selected all the desired images, click on "**Select**" on the righe bottom corner of the Media dialog.

## Step 4: Insert coordinates

In this step you'll learn how set up the coordinates for this location. For this example, we setup this location as a single point on the map and we enter only one couple of coordinates (one latitude and one longitude). Select the level 1 to insert this location on the first level of the map.

There are many type of location you can setup:

- Circle Area (with a center and radius);
- Path on the map (with a start point, many middle points and a final point);
- Area on the map (multiple coordinates to design an area on the map).

To save the new location, click on "**Publish**" button.
