How to Add a Fuzzy Location to a Memory

Who this is for: Anyone who remembers roughly where something happened but not an exact address.

Carlos is writing about his Patagonia backpacking trip. He remembers the general region but not a specific town.

Steps

1. Open the memory editor — create a new memory or tap "Edit" on an existing one.
2. Tap the location field. The whereish geographic picker opens.
3. Select the continent. Tap the continent where the memory took place (e.g., South America).
4. Select the country (optional). Narrow to a country if you remember it.
5. Select a state or region (optional). Further refine if you remember the region.
6. Select a city (optional). Add a city if you know it.
7. Stop at any level you're comfortable with. You don't have to go all the way to city — "Patagonia, Argentina" is a valid location without a specific city.
8. Tap "Done" to apply the location.
9. Save the memory.

Expected Outcome

The memory's location shows on its detail view at the level you selected. The Whereline map displays a pin at the geographic centroid of your chosen area. Tap the pin on the Whereline to preview or open the memory.

Tips

• The Whereline shows pins at the most specific level you entered. A pin for "South America" appears at the continent's center; a pin for "Buenos Aires" appears on the city.
• You can update the location level any time by editing the memory.
• Memories without a location don't appear on the Whereline but are still fully accessible in the Memories list and Timeline.
