The Map Trigger is a route-defining trigger, unique to Robotics;Notes DaSH. At certain points in the story, you are to go around various Tanegashima locations. Using the Map Trigger, you can select on the map what locations to visit. At those locations, you will interact with various characters. A pre-determined location for each Map Trigger sequence will be the “correct” one and will progress the story.

As a general rule for how character-route branching works, you need to visit all locations with the character in them during the trigger sequences, and then also visit the locations that progress the story. Sometimes, those two overlap.

After that sequence, you will be asked to look around a specific location and locate a GeoTag, much like in the original Robotics;Notes Visual Novel. I do not count those as “Map Trigger” segments, since they’re merely a minigame. You can complete this yourself, but if you can’t spot the GeoTag, look over at the GeoTag Spotting Help segment.

Choices within Common Route determine what character route you branch into after the common route concludes, so be careful. However, they only start to appear later on, so don’t worry too much about them in the beginning and just focus on enjoying the Twipo conversations and finding GeoTags.

Continue through the opening and both Festival Phases. These three story achievements unlock automatically before the first Map Trigger sequence.

The GeoTag for Map Trigger Sequence 1 is at the base of the H-II Rocket Monument

The GeoTag for Map Trigger Sequence 2 is at School Entrance, on top of the blue circular sign to the right

The GeoTag for Map Trigger Sequence 3 is at Hangar, all the way on the top right corner of the explorable area, atop the lights.

Close the camera without finding the target at three or more incorrect locations while searching for GeoTags set by Ko Kimijima.

As noted at the beginning of the guide, routinely open IRUO. and photograph new GeoTags throughout the walkthrough. Continue until you have collected at least 50.

From any save at a Map Trigger, choose a location, open the PhoneDroid, and select the deluoode map to check your current location.

From the Main Menu, select EXTRA → TIPS LIST and open every tip.

After every other achievement above is complete, the final completion achievement unlocks.
