 === Label style ===
 You can set the text color, background, highlighted background, border and highlighted border of a label.
+**An example of transparent label background:**
+map_items_labels_color_text=#0A0A0A\\
+map_items_labels_color_bg_normal=#4CF0F0F0\\
+map_items_labels_color_border_normal=#19F0F0F0\\

 === Center on point ===
 By default, the points are centered when tapped, and their detail panel appears. Here you can switch the centering off.
-==== Tracks ====
+=== Simplify visible points ===
-=== Fill color of chart with... ===
+Here, you can define the map zoom level from which the point icons are simplified to a dot. The default is 10; 0 means that simplification is turned off.
-Custom settings of track/route chart line colors.
+==== Tracks & routes ====
+=== Fill color of ... chart ===
+Custom settings of track/route chart line colors - altitude, cadence, gradient, heart-rate, speed, sensor speed and temperature. The color is defined both for a **track/route [[..:..:user_guide:tracks:about#elevation_chart|detail]]** and for **[[..:..:user_guide:tools:dashboards|dashboards]]**.
+=== Customize altitude threshold ===
+This allows modifying the altitude threshold of all tracks in case the phone's GPS shows deviations or the calculated elevation gain seems exaggerated. When the option is turned on, a new control appears in a track detail [[..:..:user_guide:tracks:about#editing_info|edit screen]].
+=== Track previews during import ===
+When turned off, the import is a bit faster, especially when you import multiple tracks.
+=== Simplify visible tracks ===
+Defines a map zoom level from which the number of visualized track points is reduced. 22 is the default.
+=== Track selection highlight ===
+When turned on, a track or route tapped on the map is highlighted with a changed color.
+==== Import & export ====
+=== Width of exported photos ===
+Defines the width of photos attached to points, exported to KML. 60 px is the default.
+==== Navigation/guidance ====
+=== Auto GPS on navigation ===
+When navigation or guidance is started, the app turns GPS on, although it is turned off.
+=== Guidance path symbol ===
+This parameter allows you to define the shape and size of the guiding line very precisely. Best to explain it on the default parameter.
+Basic values are: **-8.0|-2.0|7.0|0.0|-8.0|2.0**
+Imagine a paper with a grid. Each of the two numbers means the X and Y coordinates. So draw them. The result will be as in the picture below. In the same way, you may draw whatever symbol you want.

 ==== Route planner ====
-=== Route, interpolation step ===
+=== Route planner - interpolation saving ===
-Definition of distance between interpolated points on route for manual route drawing - affects slope/elevation coloring of the route line. Minimum 1m.
+When turned on, interpolation steps for manual segments are saved within the planned route.
+=== Routeplanner - interpolation step ===
+Definition of distance between interpolated points on route for manual route drawing - affects slope/elevation coloring of the route line. Minimum 1m, recommended 100m.
+==== Geocaching ====
+=== Offline logging of trackables ===
+Support for logging trackables offline. To log the trackable online, use the log manager in the geocaching tools.
