How Unlocked works in San Francisco.
Where can I use Unlocked in San Francisco?
Seven arrival areas across the city: the Golden Gate Bridge south plaza at the Presidio edge, Alcatraz Island itself (reached by the official ferry from Pier 33), the Palace of Fine Arts lagoon in the Marina, Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, the Painted Ladies facing Alamo Square, the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, and the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero. Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Lombard Street, Chinatown, Twin Peaks and Oracle Park are separate places and are not included. Each Landmark needs its own nearby location check.
When does Unlocked check my location?
A current location sample is checked when you choose Unlock at a supported Landmark. Continuous background tracking is not required.
Can I create the Memory after I leave?
Yes. A server-verified Landmark unlock is permanent. You can return to its Experiences later; venue admission and photography permissions are separate.
What does the welcome credit do?
Your first GPS-verified Landmark unlock grants one welcome credit for your first Memory. Collecting and sharing badges does not use credits.
