+===== Clean up! =====
+How to quickly get back to just the map?
+  * You can hide all your **tracks, routes and points** with one **[[manual:user_guide:mainscr_lpanel#my_library|button with a broom symbol]]**.
+  * **LoPoints** are also easy to get rid of, just select which one you’re currently using – online or offline – and tap the **eyelet**.
+  * Similarly, you can quickly hang up photos, notes or the grid.
+However, there are still some features hanging around on the map that you’ve added using the [[manual:user_guide:geocaching:tools#geocaching_tools1|graphical geocaching tools]], or caches that streamed in while using the live map… These are all reliably removed by the **Temporary map items** button with the trashcan symbol. It’s not in the default panel menu, but if you frequently work with the live map or various cachers’ tidbits, activate it in the customization menu.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:content_panel27.jpg?nolink |}}
