----


===== Run Locus Map as service =====
Increases system priority of Locus Map and secures it against automatic system task killing (unfortunately, not always, [[manual:faq:gps_lost_fix_android6|see >>]]).

===== Wifi-only data transfer =====
Control if you want to spend your mobile data on big uploads and downloads - maps, backups etc.

===== Connect with add-ons =====
[[https://github.com/asamm/locus-api/wiki|Locus API]] for developers enables creating various Locus add-ons for many off-core functions. Most of them need to receive periodical information about map cursor location, GPS, recorded distance, etc., for example [[manual:user_guide:geocaching:import#geocaching4locus_add-on|Geocaching4Locus add-on]] that is very important for importing geocaches to Locus Map. 

===== Audio channel=====
Selects the audio channel and its volume setting for notifications:
  * **Music, video, games, etc.**
  * **Ringing and other notifications**

===== Reset preferences =====
Resets all settings to default state after Locus Map installation. **Reset does not delete your data - tracks, points, or maps**.
