 +You can add autonomous geodata files to Locus Map by loading from several sources:
 +==== External storage ====
 +  * tap {{:manual:user_guide:add.png?nolink&20|}}
 +  * select **storage** - local directory, system file manager, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or a remote file
 +  * select the file - Locus can process KML, KMZ, GPX, JSON and ZIP files
 +==== A feature ====
 +Some Locus features output is technically a map item - for example a **[[manual:user_guide:maps_tools:calibrator|calibrated map image]]**.
 +==== Locus Store ====
 +Some routes downloaded from Locus Store are technically map items too, for example, **[[https://pilgrimagepublications.com/pp_2014/via-francigena/|Via Francigena]]**
  
 +===== Map items manager =====
