Quick Guide: How to upload a location

Congratulations! You've likely purchased an account, and now you're wondering how on earth to add your location. That's why we've created a simple user guide for you, especially if you're completely new to this. Feel free to print it out and keep it handy.

Important information will be highlighted in bold.​

Preparations

  • We recommend using a computer.

  • Transfer your photos to your computer.

  • The photos must be in .jpg or jpeg format.

  • It's best if the photos are taken in landscape orientation.

Let's get started.

  1. Go to www.locamundo.com and log in with the credentials you chose when you registered.
  2. If you've forgotten your login details, you can easily recover them by clicking the "Forgot password?" button. You will now be directed to the "FIND A LOCATION" page. Note that the appearance may vary, but the menu always remains the same.
  3. Hover over "My locations" in the menu. A dropdown menu will appear, where you can click on "Add single location."
 


Step 1: "Add location images" Page

The process consists of four steps, which you can see at the top of the page.

  1. Click on "Add Files" at the bottom left corner.

  2. You will be taken to the location on your computer where your files are stored. Select the files/images you want to upload. You can also drag and drop the images directly into the uploader.
    Note: There is no limit to the number of images you can upload.

  3. After selecting the images, they will appear in a list. Click on "Start Upload" to begin uploading the images.
    You won't be able to perform other tasks in Locamundo while your images are uploading.

 

 

 

 


After Your Images Have Uploaded

Your screen may then look like this:

  • The previews show how the images will appear on Locamundo's search page.
  • The first four images make up the preview.
  • You can rearrange the images by dragging them to create a different preview.
  • Once you're satisfied, you can proceed to the next step.


 

 

Step 2: Location Information

As an individual, you only need to fill in the "Closest city" field.
After that, you can proceed to step 3.

 


Step 3: Categorizing the Location

To help those searching for a location to find your place more easily, it needs to be categorized.

  • Here, you specify not only the category your location belongs to but also what it could potentially represent in a film.
    For example: A large and impressive villa could also be categorized as a manor.

As an individual, you usually only need to focus on the last group called "Buildings: Private Property."

  • If you click on any of the checkboxes, subcategories will appear.
    Also, take a look at the other categories to see if there is anything that fits. You can choose as many categories as necessary.
    Take your time with this step, as it is the most important part of the registration.

When you're done, proceed to step 4, which is the final step.

 


Step 4: Final Upload

The only thing left to do is to scroll up to the top of the page and switch the control to "Online."

Then, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "Finish & save."

Done!
