   * **all the time** - the only mode in which Locus Map is permitted to run correctly in the background so please **USE THIS MODE!** It doesn't mean Locus is connected to GPS all the time though - only when it needs it so don't worry about the battery consumption.

 This OS version goes even further. The "all the time" permission is **not included in the system app permissions**. You can select only "while using this app" or "ask every time":\\ {{ :manual:faq:loc_permission01.png?nolink |}}\\ When you **launch Locus Map** and start some feature that runs in the background (voice navigation, track recording, live tracking...), Locus displays a compulsory warning:\\ {{ :manual:faq:loc_permission02.png?nolink |}}. Then you are prompted to **allow all-time access to the location** in the system settings:\\ {{ :manual:faq:loc_permission03.png?nolink |}}\\ {{ :manual:faq:loc_permission04.png?nolink |}}
