If this is the first place you save, your list will still be empty at this point. Find the Add button in the top right of the screen and double-tap it. This will open the Place Edit Screen. BlindSquare will automatically copy your current address or the name of the closest intersection into the name field, but you can also insert a name of your choice. If you want to set an Alert Distance for your place, activate the Alert Distance switch button and enter the distance in the text field.

This will be your Alert Distance in your default distance unit that has been selected in the BlindSquare Settings. If you enter 20, your alert distance will be 20 meters if your default distance unit is meters, or feet if your default distance unit is feet.

The alert distance will cause BlindSquare to inform you when your distance to the place is equal or lower than the value you have assigned as an Alert Distance to this place. You can imagine it as a circle around the place. The place is in the center of the circle and the Alert Distance value is the radius of the circle. When you approach the place, BlindSquare will notify you as soon as you enter the circle you have defined by setting an Alert Distance.

Once you have edited the place name and Alert Distance to your satisfaction, find the Save button and double-tap it.
