 +=== Separate NMEA records ===
 +When turned on, the app saves each day's NMEA data as a separate incremented file instead of one continuous file.
 +=== Cursor speed without GPS ===
 +Useful for the app testing - simulated speed in m/s is applied to the map cursor when GPS is off.  0 = disabled.
 +=== Sound notification max length ===
 +Here you can set a maximum duration for sound and song notifications (default: 5s. 0s = unlimited) 
 +=== Compass respects sensor settings ===
 +When enabled, compass orientation is controlled by Settings > Compass. When disabled, the internal device orientation sensor is always used.
 +=== Keep screen on after gesture wake ===
 +When the screen is turned on by a proximity gesture, disable the automatic turn off if the timer is idle.
