Increases system priority of Locus Map and secures it against automatic system task killing (unfortunately, not always, see >>).

Allows customizing Locus Map default working directories.

It is highly recommended to install and keep Locus root directory in your device's inner memory:
Other ways are either impossible (external SD card root directory since Android 4.4.2) or you can lose your data (tracks, points, maps…) upon un(re)install (external SD card Android-dedicated directory)

Beginning with Android 5.0 it is possible to move /mapsVector/, /SRTM/ and /Backup/ directories to external SD card and redefine path to them here:

Control if you want to spend your mobile data on uploading maps, backups etc.

Locus API for developers enables creating various Locus add-ons for many off-core functions. Most of them need to receive periodical information about map cursor location, GPS, recorded distance etc., for example Geocaching4Locus add-on that is very important for importing geocaches to Locus Map.

Enables selecting from various address searching engines:

• Google - default search engine. Returns very precise data but is functional only on devices officially supported by Google and associated with a Google account.
• GraphHopper - returns less precise data than Google in most cases but is functional on all devices
• MapQuest - returns less precise data than Google in most cases but is functional on all devices
• Bing - another alternative to Google by Microsoft

Selects audio channel and its volume setting for notifications:

• Music stream
• Notification stream

Here you can switch on or off on-screen notifications of news from Locus web site (blogposts about various Locus tricks, new features, maps or traveling tips)

Deletes temporary storage folders:

• Temporary files - deletes cache directory
• Cache of online maps - deletes all cached online map tiles
• Unneeded geocaching data - deletes all cached data of geocache points that have been removed before
• Unused attachments - deletes all data linked to previously removed points

Resets all settings to default state after Locus Map installation. Reset does not delete your data - tracks, points nor maps.
