-Unlike imported points or tracks items are **autonomous files** that can be processed by Locus Map **without direct importing them**. The files can contain points or tracks and they **preserve their inner properties** (e.g. GroundOverlays or rotating of points in KML files) - they are placed in temporary memory and all their changes are lost when Locus Map is closed.
+If you need to preserve inner properties of geodata (e.g. GroundOverlays or rotating of points) contained in **autonomous KML, KMZ, GPX, and JSON files** you can display them as Map items - **without the need for direct import of their content**. The files can contain points, tracks, images, or even maps (e.g. [[manual:user_guide:maps_tools:calibrator|calibrated maps]]). In Locus Map, they are stored in temporary memory (not imported to the Locus database) and all their changes are lost when the app is closed.

+Using Map items in Locus Map is designed especially for advanced users and is not essential for the ordinary use of the application.
