This app allows you to learn about locations of musical heritage in Leeds. You can either search and explore locations positioned on the Leeds map, or by scrolling throught he A-to-Z of locations in the list view. When you tap on a location, an information pop appears, which includes images and descriptions, as well as links to external websites, video and recorded music examples. It is also possible to open a direct link to each location in the Apple Maps app, allowing you to find live directions from your current location to the heritage location of interest.
To control the map, you can pinch to zoom in or use the horizontal zoom-slider at the bottom of the map display. Drag to move the map around and, if you get lost, just double tap and the map will reset its scaling.
