+  * **[[..:ios:guidance|Guidance]]** to a target
+==== FAQ for early adopters ====
+=== Can I import my activities from Apple Health? ===
+  * You can import outdoor activities recorded with an Apple Watch or another tracking device that are stored in the Health app.
-===== Answer =====
+=== Can I sync the iOS app with my Android phone? ===
+  * Yes, you can. Just use the same **[[manual:user_guide:locus_store:user_profile|Locus account]]** you use on your Android phone. And make sure you have the **[[manual:user_guide:premium|Premium Gold]]** active.
-**No, it is not.**
+=== How can I plan routes for the iOS app? ===
+  * On **[[https://web.locusmap.app|Locus Web Planner]]**. When you save the route, it is synced with the mobile app with **[[manual:user_guide:premium|Premium Gold]]**.
+=== Can I import a GPX file to the app? ===
+  * Yes, you can import tracks, routes and points from a GPX file stored in your iOS device.  Either tap the file **directly in your device storage** or open Locus Map and select **Import to a particular track or point folder**.
+=== Does the app use offline maps? ===
+  * Yes, you can download offline **[[..:ios:maps|LoMaps]]** for the whole world
+=== Can the app navigate? ===
+  * Not yet. You can display the route on the screen and see your position on it.
+=== Can the app guide to points, e.g. geocaches? ===
+  * Yes, it can. More about **[[..:ios:guidance|guidance to a target >>]]**
-  * iOS platform does not provide developing freedom and flexibility Android supports. It means we could not use sources we use in Android including crucial elements like e.g. map rendering engine which is a third party opensource. **iOS Locus Map would perform only up to cca 65% of its Android version**.
-  * we do not want to dissipate our work among several operating systems. Locus is a very extensive project and the development of other platforms would take a long time. So we have decided to work hard and intensely and only on one platform - Android.
