+===== How to add a sensor =====
+  * **activate the sensor** and make sure it emits BT or ANT+ signal
+  * tap {{:manual:user_guide:tracks:add.png?nolink&30|}} in the manager and select the **type of sensor** - a GPS, a heart rate monitor, a bike radar...
+  * then **select the type of connection** - BT 4 or 3, ANT+ or USB
+  * Locus Map starts **searching** for the sensor and displays a **list of available devices**
+  * **pick your sensor** to add it to the manager. If it is [[..:..:faq:support_for_hrm_monitors|supported]], it connects immediately:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors01.gif?nolink |}} This way you can connect **several sensors at once**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors03.jpg?nolink |}}
-Locus Map can communicate with various Bluetooth-connected external devices - external GPS units, heart rate monitors, bicycle speed&cadence sensors, Zephyr sensors, Polar sensors and NMEA readers. Bluetooth manager displays their switches and settings.
