How to Set Custom Locations in Swackett 5 Series Apps for macOS

Swackett apps for macOS support up to 15 custom locations. We’ve recently upgraded Custom Locations to make configuring them a simple, 3-step process. 🙂

Swackett comes preloaded with 10 locations from around the world. You can replace any of these by typing in a new city name and tapping the Done button. This will save your new location.

To activate the new location, simply open the Locations Shortcut panel (Step 02 above) and tap the city name.

Want More Control? You’ve Got It!

Tap the Validate GSP Coordinates button to view and refine your custom location to within 365 feet of where you are standing.

Got Questions? Having trouble with Custom Locations?

We can set your custom locations for you remotely. Create a Tech Support ticket on this site if you have any issues with Custom Locations.

Known Issue: Peep Clothing Calibration in Select Locations (Celsius Temperature Selected)

It appears there was a glitch in the custom Celsius temperature settings in the Personalization Center.

Peeps would sometimes appear with the wrong clothing — and spine badges were incorrect (off by 30 degrees or so).

Engineering has deployed a fix now — and will investigate further to make sure the issue is solved everywhere.

This issue has been resolved.

Known Issue: Processing Complex GPS Codes

Please do not include the degree symbol (°) in custom locations.

Please do not include N, S, W or E direction designators in custom locations.

And if in the western hemisphere, please include the dash (–) for latitude coordinates.

For example, Denver has an GPS coordinate of:

39.7392° N, 104.9903° W

But should be entered in the Personalization Center as:

Latitude: 39.7392

Longitude: -104.9903

This work-around will get you up and running while we address this problem on our servers.

This issue has been resolved.
