 === 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\\

 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.

+==== Geocaching ====
+=== Offline logging of trackables ===
+Support for logging trackables offline. To log the trackable online, use the log manager in the geocaching tools.
