-===== How to get geocaches into Locus Map? =====
-The easiest way is via the **Geocaching4Locus** addon which you can quickly install for free from the **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcao.geocaching4locus|Google Play Store]]**.
+Here are detailed instructions:

+  * tap **SEARCH**
+  * confirm **Import** of the caches
-{{ :manual:basics:g4l_gp.png?nolink |}}
+For example, this way, the app imports **110 geocaches placed around the maps screen cursor**. You can change the location and number of downloaded caches or set up a filter. [[manual:user_guide:geocaching:tools|More info >>]]
+==== Via add-on ====
-Once it's done, touch and hold the place on the map where you'd like to see geocaches around. It's the same as with placing a point of interest. When a label with address appears tap it to unfold:
+Another option is the **Geocaching4Locus** addon that you can quickly install for free from the **[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcao.geocaching4locus|Google Play Store]]**.
-{{ :manual:basics:geocahing_bas.png?nolink |}}
+<wrap important>The add-on is not a product of our team, so we can't bear responsibility for its correct functioning</wrap>
-Select {{:manual:user_guide:ic_addons_alt.png?nolink&30|}} icon. Choose {{:manual:user_guide:ic_search_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**Nearest caches**.
+{{ :manual:basics:g4l_gp.png?nolink |}}

+  * select the **number** of downloaded caches and tap the **download button**:\\ {{ :manual:basics:geocahing_bas2.png?nolink |}}
-**Locus Map** will ask how many caches you want to download...
+==== Import of geocaches ====
-{{ :manual:basics:geocahing_bas3.png?nolink |}}
+  * after downloading, Locus Map asks where to **store** the geocaches. Select the **folder** and tap **IMPORT**:\\ {{ :manual:basics:gc_basic01.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * info box about **successful download** appears:\\ {{ :manual:basics:geocahing_bas4.png?nolink |}}
