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.

By default, Locus main directory is stored in the root of your device's internal storage:
. You can place it also in the private directory both in the inner storage or on external SD card.

Some sub-directories can be placed out of the default main directory.

1) in the app private folders (either in internal storage or external SD card):

• /Maps/ - raster maps
• /MapsOnline/ - definition files, temp data of online maps
• /geocaching/ - user images, spoilers, HTML listings, offlinized data etc.

2) anywhere in the device storage:

• /MapsVector/ - vector maps, e.g. LoMaps or OpenAndroMaps
• /SRTM/ - offline elevation dat
• /Backup/ - ZIP files with backup of tracks, routes, points and settings

These options are available on Android 11+ devices only.

This command searches the device storage for the app data provided it is not in the default main directory. Used in case the user cancels the data transfer after update on Locus Map version 4.5.x.

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.
