<wrap box>Menu > All features > Set up</wrap>

A sensor manager is a central place in the app where you can connect your Bluetooth and ANT+ sensors to Locus Map and manage these connections. Locus Map supports a wide range of **BT4, BT3, ANT+ and USB sensors**.

===== How to add a sensor =====
  * **activate the sensor** and make sure it emits BT or ANT+ signal
  * tap {{:manual:user_guide:tracks:add.png?nolink&30|}} in the manager and select the **type of sensor** - a GPS, a heart rate monitor, a bike radar...
  * then **select the type of connection** - BT 4 or 3, ANT+ or USB
  * Locus Map starts **searching** for the sensor and displays a **list of available devices**
  * **pick your sensor** to add it to the manager. If it is [[..:..:faq:support_for_hrm_monitors|supported]], it connects immediately:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors01.gif?nolink |}} This way you can connect **several sensors at once**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors03.jpg?nolink |}}

===== Dis/connecting =====
Added sensors stay in the manager. When you want to disconnect some, tap DISCONNECT. If you want to connect some, tap CONNECT.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors04.jpg?nolink |}}
